1 Peter 5:4.     When the chief Shepherd - That is, the Lord Jesus Christ, whose is the flock, and who provides the pasture, and from whom, if ye are legally called to the most awful work of preaching the Gospel, you have received your commission; when HE shall appear to judge the world in righteousness, you who have fed HIS flock, who have taken the superintendency of it, not by constraint, nor for filthy lucre’s sake, not as lords over the heritage, but with a ready mind, employing body, soul, spirit, time and talents, in endeavoring to pluck sinners as brands from eternal burnings, and build up the Church of Christ on its most holy faith; You shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away, an eternal nearness and intimacy with the ineffably glorious God; so that you who have turned many to righteousness shall shine, not merely as stars, but as suns in the kingdom of your Father! O you heavenly-minded, diligent, self-denying pastors after God’s own heart, whether you be in the Church established by the state, or in those divisions widely separated from, or nearly connected with it, take courage; preach Jesus; press through all difficulties in the faith of your God; fear no evil while meditating nothing but good. You are stars in the right hand of Jesus, who walks among your golden candlesticks, and has lighted that lamp of life which you are appointed to trim; fear not, your labor in the Lord cannot be in vain! Never, never can you preach one sermon in the spirit of your office, which the God of all grace shall permit to be unfruitful; you carry and sow the seed of the kingdom by the command and on the authority of your God; you sow it, and the heavens shall drop down dew upon it. You may go forth weeping, though bearing this precious seed; but you shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing your sheaves with you. Amen, even so, Lord Jesus Come!
