Reflection: Christian leaders are to nourish their sheep

Just as politicians carry a very big responsibility in society, Christian leaders also have a great role to play. Whatever the denomination of the Christian leader, nourishing and guiding his ‘sheep’ and forming them to be Christ-like in today’s society is for sure not an easy task. Christian leaders are to be role models to the people they are entrusted with, they are to radiate the love of God to them, to form them, to help them recognize the love of Christ in their lives, to make them strong in their faith, to be the voice of God and a light to society.

Such a task carries the same responsibility as that of the Great Commission, when Jesus said to the eleven disciples in Galilee, as narrated by Matthew in 28:18-20: Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

In today’s terminology, or as better understood within the business world, the above statement of Jesus would easily translate as a Mission Statement to Christian leaders as follows: to make disciples, to baptize and to teach in all nations about God’s love. etc . etc.

Richard gave his life to Christ in high school and planned to be a missionary, but when an opportunity in Tanzania didn't work out the dean encouraged him to take internal medicine and cardiology and return to teach others who would be missionaries.

Bible Study: Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Reflections:-

Reflect in silence about being in peace.

Are you in peace with everyone?

Do you love all the people you meet with?

Through peace and love, are you being a more holy person?

The Lord Jesus Christ desires and wishes that you be in peace and that you love your neighbor.

By loving and being in peace, through Jesus love, you be a holy person…aim to be a holy person.

God Bless you and take care,
