Miletus - Example and Exhortation to Ephesian Elders

During Paul's journey back to Jerusalem at the close of the third missionary journey, he harbors in Miletus and sends for the Ephesian elders, to give them a final exhortation. In this wonderful passage, we see the importance and role of the local church and her leaders.

Paul's Example to the Elders was one of serving among the flock with humility, and serving tirelessly, by teaching, and to the end.

Paul's Exhortation to the Elders addressed the plurality of shepherds, the preciousness of the flock, the protection of the flock, and the pattern for the shepherds.
