John Calvin & Jonathan Edwards
Those over you are those who are God-called, Holy Spirit enabled, Christ-following shepherds given to the church to lead, instruct counsel, warn, and protect.
The bread, water, sword and shield that are aspects of their trade are all one thing - The Word of God.
Who are they?
Qualifications - 1 Tim.
3, Titus 1, 1 Peter 5
Plural… (these, them)
Result = Peace, Order
What do they do?
“The labor of the Christian ministry is well performed in exact proportion to the vigor of our renewed nature.
Our work is only well done when it is well with ourselves…To face the enemies of truth, to defend the bulwarks of the faith, to rule well in the house of God, to comfort all that mourn, to edify the saints, to guide the perplexed, to bear with the froward, to win and nurse souls - all these and a thousand other works beside are not for a feeble-mind or a ready-to-halt, but are reserved for great-heart, whom the Lord has made strong for Himself.
Seek then the strength from the Strong One, wisdom from the Wise-One, in fact, all from the God of all.” - Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, pg. 17
Labor (wearisome task unto extreme fatigue)
Admonish (instruct, warn, counsel)
What Moses was doing with Israel
Qualifications tell us a lot about what they are doing
Where?
In the Lord...
He gave - we are all part of His body
Through Him...
Over you (lead, in charge of, manage)
Greatest commission for these over you
Conclusion: Paul is doing these things in this letter to comfort, admonish, encourage, and bring peace to a worried, scared and confused people.
