What should leadership look like in the church? Peter points out an Old Testament pattern as well as a New Testament practice in helping Christians understand the role of servant leadership in the body of Christ. Turning to the establishment of elders in Exodus 18 as the pattern, Alistair Begg teaches the responsibility of elders as described by Peter. As God carries out His rule through leadership, some are to be responsible for the leadership of others, but all are responsible to Jesus Christ and His Word.
1So I exhort the elders among you, mas a fellow elder and na witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2oshepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,1 pnot under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;2 qnot for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3not rdomineering over those in your charge, but sbeing examples to the flock. 4And when tthe chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the uunfading vcrown of glory.
