My brothers and my sisters during some time I
thought about sharing with you something regarding a shepherdess church. To understand what
it means to be a church shepherdess it is necessary that we understand which
means Pastor, Herding. I believe we know, but we don't always know for behind. So let's see what is it? Well. Herding is the same follow,
protection, etc. Herding can still mean offering help to those in need. Now
it's easier to understand what it means to be a church shepherdess. I think you
already realized that it's a church where some have care of others. My dear
brothers and my dear sisters usually it has lack those way of Church. But
there's another way of Church shepherdess? Don't. Can even exist would-be types
of Churches but the true Church of Christ is by nature a Church shepherdess, for we are called to care for each other, from each other.
In the early church there was even a time when nobody had as being exactly what
they had, but sold and they deposited the proceeds of the sale at the feet of
the Apostles and those distributed among believers as everyone had need. Of
course, that didn't last long and neither is our proposal. But we are mentioned
as an example of a church shepherdess where others take care of others. But are
we really taking this seriously in our present day? I worry about the fact to
understand that every day that passes the people becoming more individualistic
and the next only interest them when they can take some kind of profit
(advantage). My friend and dear that's
tragic in the Church of Christ. As we look to Jesus our prototype, we realize
that he lived the entire time focused on others, to be more faithful to the
world (John, 3:16).
In a church shepherdess the problems that affect
the lives of my brothers and my sisters have everything to do with me. Nobody
is isolated, alone, but has a large family to take care of their life with love
and affection. That doesn't mean we move cautiously into the private lives of
our brothers and sisters, but be aware that they may be needing. To act so we
need to have true love for not exercising some way of judgment on the others. It
is necessary to exercise Mat. 6: 3. We can't play trumpet when we help a
brother or a sister.
On the basis of this meditation text we read that
we must take each other's charges, weight. Did we do that? If we don't we are
outside the standards of the true Church of Christ. In the church shepherdess
nobody lives only for himself, but always thinking about the welfare of others.
In a shepherdess church some take the
care of the others. We are this church, let us pasture each other. Amen. Rev.
Jesué Francisco da Silva.
