Hi – I'm reading "The Masculine Mandate: God's Calling to Men" by Richard D. Phillips and wanted to share this quote with you.
"Just as God calls Christian men to bear His image before the world, He calls us to imitate Him as His servant-lords in the world. We would do well to pay the closest attention to the ultimate Shepherd-Lord, Christ Himself, in His ultimate act of service to His sheep: His death on the cross. For just as Jesus' shepherding care caused Him to lay down His life, our shepherd-leadership will call for immense self-sacrifice. Our reward? The rich satisfaction of being greatly used by God in the lives of His sheep and, to varying degrees, the "unfading crown of glory" (1 Peter 5:4) that Jesus has prepared for all who have faithfully shepherded the beloved flock that He purchased with His own blood."
