Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:12-15 (day six)
“Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught. And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live. For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life, so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.” – 2 Peter 1:12–15
Peter understood his role. Jesus had told him, after all, “Feed my sheep.” Peter went from a fisherman to a shepherd, tasked with caring for God’s flock and protecting them from those who would “steal, kill, and destroy.” Until the very end of his life, Peter embraced this responsibility with courage, reminding and encouraging these young churches to remain faithful.
Who are you responsible for? Who has God placed in your life to remind, encourage, and protect? The same God who works in you always intends to work through you—for the good of others and for the glory of His Son.
Be a good shepherd.
