God's Example To Godly Leaders

Acts 20:32-35

'Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing. You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions. In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive."' (NIVUK)

Handing over the baton of leadership is not easy. Inevitably, those who follow will not be so experienced in handling difficult circumstances. Paul's leadership of the Ephesian church was over (Acts 20:25), so the elders would now be fully responsible, to protect the church and promote Christ through it. They must not only keep a watch over the church, but also over themselves (Acts 20:28). How could they stay true to Christ and defend the church from false teaching? Only by the elders being directly responsible to God and holding firm to the teaching of the apostles (Acts 2:42).
