God's Warning To Godly Leaders

Acts 20:28-31

'Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.' (NIVUK)

Paul was giving final instructions to the Ephesian church elders. He would not return to Ephesus again (Acts 20:22-25), and his words almost sound like a military battle briefing: they are. Not a war against people, but a spiritual conflict against the devil and his evil forces (Ephesians 6:10-20). Paul's time for guiding that church was over. The local elders were now responsible to keep themselves, and the flock, following Jesus … with the courage of shepherds in the midst of ravenous wolves.
