1 Peter 5:1-5 (TPT)
"Now, I encourage you as an elder, an eyewitness of the suffering of Christ, and one who shares in the glory that is about to be unveiled. I urge my fellow elders among you to be compassionate shepherds who tenderly care for God's flock and who feed them well, for you have the responsibility to guide, protect, and oversee. Consider it a joyous pleasure and not merely a religious duty. Lead from the heart under God's leadership, not as a way to gain finances dishonestly but as a way to eagerly and cheerfully serve.
Don't be controlling tyrants but lead others by your beautiful examples to the flock. And when the Shepherd - King appears, you will win the victor's crown of glory that never fades away.
In the same way, the younger ones should willingly support the leadership of the elders. In every relationship, each of you must wrap around yourself the apron of a humble servant. Because: God resists you when you are proud but multiplies grace and favor when you are humble.
Reflection: Jesus Christ came to serve and not to be served. We are called to servanthood, therefore we should serve. Jesus Christ is our example. Remember the sheep under your care belong to Jesus and not to you! Don't go around telling people these are my members, "you are just a shepherd" and Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, He died for them. The Ecclesia (Church of God) is called into unity. Satanists are united, why can't we unite? Let us walk in humility and God will lift you up in due time.
May the Peace of God fill your hearts and minds, now and always!
