“Our coming King wears many crowns and is worthy of many exalted names, but perhaps
what is dearest to us is that He is a shepherd like us.

He is our ‘Chief Shepherd,’ (**1 Peter 5:4**) our beloved Senior Pastor with whom
we have worked all these years.

He knows what it is like to shepherd the flock of God.”
