[17] The Designations Of Bishop And Overseer
The same analogy can be used for bishops and the overseers.
|
It Was Said Of Christ |
It Was Said Of Human Priesthood |
|
(1 Pet 2:25) For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. |
(Titus 1:7) For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, |
In the context of the prophesy about Bethlehem, Christ is describes as an overseer.
|
It Was Said Of Christ |
It Was Said Of Human Priesthood |
|
(Mat 2:6) 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.'" |
(1 Tim 5:17) Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. |
[18] How Awesome Is The Difference Between Christ And That of Human Bishops And Overseers.
Christ is the all in all Bishop and overseer, while the human clergy works within a limited sphere. They are shepherds under the shepherdship of Christ
He is the Bishop and Overseer of our souls (1 Peter 2:25), while they as commissioned bishops and priests who were entrusted with this responsibility.
