All Christians are Called to share Jesus, Right, well then all Christians have been given a flock to watch over and take care of. You might ask, Just who is my flock? My answer to that is this, Who-so-ever comes into your path and life is your flock, and you have the responsibility to minister to them.Share Jesus with those who don't have a relationship with Him. Help those that are young in Christ because they need guidance and direction.
We should all do this of course because we want to and are glad to, not because we have to. God gave us free will and we don't have to do anything if we choose not to, but think of all the Blessings you would be missing.
2 When you shepherd the flock God has given you, watch over them not because you have to but because you want to. For this is how God would want it not because you’re being compensated somehow but because you are eager to watch over them.
3 Don’t lead them as if you were a dictator, but lead your flock by example;
4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will be crowned with honor that will shine brightly forever.
5 You who are younger in the faith: do as your elders and leaders ask. All of you should treat each other with humility, for as it says in Proverbs,
"God opposes the proud but offers grace to the humble"
6 So bow down under God’s strong hand; then when the time comes, God will lift you up.
7 Since God cares for you, let Him carry all your burdens and worries.
