Feed My Sheep!
It is usually good etiquette to serve others at the table before piling nourishment onto your own plate.However,when it comes to kingdom etiquette this table courtesy is turned upside down.
Love for Jesus the Great Shepherd of the sheep is tangibly expressed in caring for the flock of God in a specific way. Jesus pressed Peter: “Do you love me?†the evidence of this would be obedience to the command of Jesus,†Feed my sheep.†Tim Laniak says,†Leading means feeding.†If I am going to feed and nourish the sheep entrusted to my oversight and care …it must come as an overflow of nourishing my own soul. _________________ Bill H |
