Feeding Lambs

A father kneels beside his young son in a sunlit farm pasture, guiding his hands as the child feeds a lamb from a bottle. More sheep gather close in the grass, with a red barn, fence line, trees, and open countryside behind them. The tender farm scene presents care, nurture, and learned responsibility through the familiar biblical symbol of sheep and lambs.

Though not a direct depiction of a Bible event, the subject naturally echoes Jesus’ words to Peter: “Feed my lambs.” The lambs become a gentle image of those entrusted to faithful care, making this artwork useful for themes of family discipleship, pastoral ministry, children’s teaching, stewardship, and the shepherding love of God.
