Guardians of Christianity
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound responsibility we have as followers of Christ. Drawing from Acts 20, we explore the concept of being 'overseers' of God's flock - the church. This isn't just about leadership; it's about recognizing the immense value God places on His people, purchased with the blood of His Son. We're called to 'pay careful attention' not only to ourselves but to all those around us in our faith community. This dual focus challenges us to pursue personal holiness while also nurturing and protecting others. The imagery of sheep and wolves vividly illustrates the vulnerability of believers and the very real spiritual dangers we face. As we reflect on this, we're prompted to consider: How are we safeguarding our own faith and supporting others in theirs? Are we truly valuing the church as Christ does?
