The Chief Shepherd Shall Appear


1 Peter 5:4 KJV
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Over and over again in the Bible the appearing of Jesus Christ is the end for which a Christian is to look. This may be one of the most difficult of the spiritual disciplines; to live in view of Christ's return. Sure we say we believe that Christ could come back for us at any moment, but how often do our actions prove a life lived with that in view.


  • When Jesus comes the suffering we have experienced for Christ will be nothing
  • When Jesus comes the investments we have made in eternal things will be huge
  • When Jesus comes, the souls of those we have been blessed to see trust Christ will be the most important thing to us
  • When Jesus comes we will be exceedingly glad

The chief Shepherd shall appear.

He did not come yesterday. He may not appear today. But He shall appear. And I want to know when he does appear that I am looking.
