"He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
"He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
"And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
The sheep are already there by Christ's work, He sends you to feed them that are already there by His free and sovereign act of giving them eternal life through His Spirit.
But SO MANY of preachers - both Arminians as well as their elitist cousins Calvinists don't even understand this simple command; they sincerely think Christ commands them to go and help Him make His sheep through their preaching!
Oh, those deceived and deluded gospel regenerationists!
What has bewitched them?
Why aren't they content with the noble work of feeding Christ's sheep with the food provided by the Lord Himself?
Why must they insist their role in the divine work of regeneration?
Why must they usurp God's divine work of giving eternal life?
Isn't that an example of repudiating the word of Christ, and being an enemy of the cross of Christ?
I have never heard of a midwife foolish enough to insist that she played any role in the conception of the child she is helping to deliver into the family. But such foolishness prevails in the Christendom.
