Examples
To The Flock
Now as an elder myself and a witness of
the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be
revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in
your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as
God would have you do it - not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over
those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd
appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away. In the same
way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of
you must clothe yourselves with humility in your
dealings with one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to
the humble."
Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.
1 Peter 5:1-6
Seek to help people. It might be mighty
or it might be something that is needed but not so visible. Create your own
ministry and follow the guidance God gives you.
Some members of the body of Christ are
called to serve in places of prominence; others to labor quietly behind the
scenes. Regardless of what the Lord asks us to do, be willing to do it by
serving one another through love, knowing that ultimately we are serving the
Lord.
There is no
insignificant task
in the church.
