Of Shepherds and Sheep

Peter writes for his fellow elders, exhorting them to a faithful fulfillment of their calling, which really is to be Christ-like in service and humility. Yet his words are not just for those in office. They're for every one of us who belong to the chief Shepherd, the one who will come again to gather us to himself. His humble but powerful ministry to his own is where our comfort and rest are found.
