Jesus Gives Us Better Leaders

As the writer of Hebrews nears the end of his sermon, he reminds his readers and hearers of the wonderful pastoral leaders God gave His church, and calls them to watch their way of life, follow their lead, and submit to their authority in the church. But the author also warns them about other leaders who call them to embrace false teaching, move away from Jesus and grace, and to give themselves to false worship. The goal is to find godly leaders who will serve as a plurality of Elders, who will point people to Jesus and keep watch over the souls of God’s people. When men don’t do that, don’t follow them and show them out. When they do, go all in to follow their lives and make their ministry a joy. And, most important, pray for your leaders continually.
