This Lord's Day we will take a brief break from John's Gospel and turn to 1 Peter 5:1–5, where Peter gives one of Scripture's clearest pictures of shepherding in the church. We will consider what it means that Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, and that He lovingly provides undershepherds to know, feed, lead, and protect His people—leaders like Himself. Sheep need shepherds, and Christ has given shepherding as a gift to His church. Please come prayerfully, asking the Lord to teach us how to live together as His flock under His loving care.
