1 Peter
"Shepherd the flock"
Text: 1 Peter 5:2
THE WORK OF LOOKING AFTER THE CHURCH
Peter used the terminology that the Lord Jesus used when He spoke of Himself as the Good Shepherd (John 10). The care of the church may indeed be compared to that of a shepherd tending his flock.
“Shepherd the flock of God which is among you,
serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly,
not for dishonest gain but eagerly.”
1 Peter 5:2
