As a Shepherd, you gotta know how to take your lumps, from the ones you are caring for! You sacrifice for them; and they pluck your beard, spit in your face, give you lashes, and watch you carry the cross. But our Master knew the prize, he knew why he was doing what he was doing, he saw their need, and not their limitations, he saw who they would become when he accomplished his mission. He was going to rescue his family! For all eternity! It is a blessing to have such leadership, and to learn to be like “The Great Shepherd”, He asks a lot, and we can never match his selflessness, we can only learn from it, and how to truly love and serve one another. May God bless all our “Shepherds” out there, may the Lord uphold your leadership.
