Daily Devotions: Good Pastors Are Jealous for the Sheep - September 7, 2024

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 – “I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness. I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” In today’s Daily Devotions, Pastor Sumrall reflects on Paul’s godly jealousy for the church at Corinth. Paul’s concern was not about control or ownership, but about protecting the believers’ pure devotion to Christ. He observed that others were stepping into their spiritual lives, teaching false ideas, and subtly pulling them away from the faith he had nurtured. This teaching applies to us today by reminding us to stay rooted in the truth of Christ and recognize the shepherds God has placed in our lives. Leaders who guide us faithfully care for our spiritual growth, and it’s natural for them to feel a godly concern when our devotion is at risk. We are encouraged to discern teaching, remain loyal to Christ, and honor those invested in our spiritual journey. ------ Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
