"Fear Not, Little Flock"

The New Testament is clear that Christ's flock is numbered among the few not the many. Christ's words, "Fear not, little flock," are counter-intuitive to everything we think. In America especially, we think to be little is an indicator of failure; it's the big churches that God likes and blesses, or so we think. But that is not the New Testament witness; rather, we read that Christ's flock is small, it is a remnant of the remnant, and as we approach the day of his return this will become only more apparent.
