And so, I continue. . . That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:71 Peter 5:1-2, 4
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Although the Christian is to be ever conscious of the purpose the Lord saved us, we are to be witnesses and share the good news of Jesus Christ the Saviour of the World. Peter is encouraging the elders of the church as a witness of Jesus' sufferings, to continue to care for God's people with the leadership of the Holy Spirit with a heart to be ready always to teach, lead, and care for the flock until our Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ shall appear in the clouds! When He calls us home, our rewards will be waiting. Those crowns will be our glory - but we will willingly and lovingly lay them down at HIS FEET!
Until that day, Christian do all that you can do to win the lost to the Saviour. Don't leave one behind to suffer the devil's punishment of hell. God never intended for one soul to go to hell! It is His desire that all shall be saved! Help us O Lord, to do thy will ALWAYS!
HE CARES! Lost person, Do You Want to Know HIM? Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen. With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
