获取软件Daily Bible Reading – April 2023 God’s Saving Word: Hope预览
April 27
Introduction
Church leaders are encouraged to be like shepherds watching over their sheep (the people of God) until Christ, the Chief Shepherd, returns. They should do this willingly, not out of obligation, but out of joyful service to God.
Scripture Reading
1 Peter 5:1-14
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Peter 5:4
When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the glorious crown which will never lose its brightness.
Reflect
In Jesus’s day, life was often difficult for shepherds. They spent most of their time outside watching over the herds, and they often slept near their flocks to protect them from robbers and wild animals. Jesus identified with shepherds even though many in Jesus’s day looked down on them. In what ways are church leaders like shepherds? What are the challenges of church leadership today?
Pray
Lord Jesus, our Great Shepherd, you call forth leaders to guide your church. Empower your leaders today, that they may be like faithful shepherds, watching over your people and leading them home. Grant them wisdom and strength for their work, and bless their homes and families. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
2 Peter 1:1-21: God’s divine power gives us everything we need.
