Good Shepherds under the Great Shepherd

1 Peter 5:1-4 June 7, 2026 AM.Peter instructs under-shepherds to lead God's flock not by compulsion, not for dishonest gain, nor acting as lords over them. Stated positively, pastors should lead willingly, eagerly, and as examples to the flock. The motivation to lead well is that pastors serve under the authority of Christ and will receive a reward in the future when the Chief Shepherd returns.
