Fellow elder

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter as an elder tells the fellow elder (senior) of today;

1 Peter 5:1-3 I appeal to the elders among you: Shepherd the flock of Elohim which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but voluntarily, not out of greed for filthy gain, but eagerly, neither as being masters over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter is not mentioning pastors, priests or leaders but to believers who are must older in years, who know the word by studying and following the Word for many years.

Serve people spiritually, not by forcing but by their own will.

Serve people with the desire of Yah’s word, not for money or greed.

Serve people by an example bearing good fruit, not by exercising dominion over them coming to hear the Word.

 

1 Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you shall receive the never-fading crown of esteem. 1 Peter 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.

1 Peter 5:5 In the same way, you younger ones, be subject to elders. And gird yourselves with humility toward one another, for “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favour to the humble.”
