Moses – A Caring Shepherd

The Duties of a Shepherd• The shepherd is to feed the flock according to the integrity of

his heart, searching out green pastures. Psalm 78:71-72, Eze. 34:23, John 21: 15-17

• The Shepherd is to watch over the sheep, by day and by night, both to offer protection from danger, and to know the state of his flock. Prov.27:23, Ezek. 34:12, Luke 2:8

• The Shepherd is to lead by his voice, guiding the flock to quiet resting places where they might not fear. Psalm 23:2-4, Jer. 23:3-4, John 10:4

True Shepherding The Visible Hand of God, Bro. Roberts wrote concerning the mission of Moses:

“This work required modesty of self estimate, a deep sense of Yahweh’s greatness, a disposition to be scrupulously faithful in the carrying out of divine instructions, and a capacity for unbounded patience and magnanimity with those with whom he might be called upon to deal”.
