Description
1 Peter 5:1-4
When it comes to pastoral qualifications, many of us turn to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, however I have grown to treasure this section in 1 Peter 5 as one of the best passages on God’s expectations for a pastor. Unfortunately, many pastors have “cared more about the mission than the people. And they [don’t] realize that the people are the mission (July Roys Report Podcast ‘The Body of Christ Keeps the Score,’ 28:10).” We need far fewer superhero pastors and far more pastors who are willing to be servants. May we all learn to follow Christ in servanthood, even in our suffering as He did.
