Every committed Christian is a leader and a shepherd, and thus has the responsibility to care for all. In this era though, we often encounter leaders who would rather lord it over the flock and consume them rather than care for them. As we step out today, let us be assured we are under the watchful care of Jesus – the good shepherd – who will never leave nor forsake us.
On our own part, we have the responsibility to care for members of our family, church and society at large.
