“And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”
1 Peter 5:4 KJV
When the Shepherd-King appears, you will win the victor’s crown of glory that never fades away. The Chief Shepherd is the Lord of the shepherds. Under His headship, the true shepherds serve as elders for the flock. They understand that they serve God’s flock, not their own. They lovingly guide and care for God’s people and take responsibilities for oversight willingly. They are eager to serve, not eager for financial gain and feed and nurture God’s people. They reject a domineering leadership model and lead by examples of godliness and humility. When shepherds allow Jesus to be revealed through them, the flock is healthy. The Spirit of glory and of God rests upon us. That’s how we are crowned with glory. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for shepherds who are surrendered to You and who reflect the King-Shepherd with power and love. Amen!
