The Apostle Peter encourages pastors to care for flocks eagerly. Be examples of what we preach! He tells us that if we do this, we will receive a crown of glory when the Chief Shepherd, Jesus, returns.
“Shepherd the flock of God, which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.” [1]
“Lord Jesus, please help us to be shepherds who receive the crown of glory from You.”
[1] 1 Peter 5:2-4
21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
