Christ, the Chief Shepherd, means to care for his flock through a number of godly men who together teach, guard, guide, protect, and love the sheep.
1. Oversight: An elder must watch over the flock. He must instruct all the sheep, strengthen the weak ones, guard the vulnerable ones, rebuke the obstinate ones, and bear with the difficult ones.
(2 Timothy, 2:24-26, Acts 20:28, 1 Thessalonians 5:14, Hebrews 13:17)
(2 Timothy, 2:24-26, Acts 20:28, 1 Thessalonians 5:14, Hebrews 13:17)
2. Plurality: In the New Testament, local churches consistently have a plurality of elders.
(Acts 14:23, Acts 20:17, 1 Timothy 5:17, James 5:14)
(Acts 14:23, Acts 20:17, 1 Timothy 5:17, James 5:14)
