You've got to lead. You can't force. Of course Jesus is the Master Shepherd and has eternal integrity and always leads us to green nutritious pastures. You can never go wrong following Jesus. We are sheep.
Ministers are sheep and also shepherds at the same time.
That's a unique duality. You need to know that in God's Word you are called sheep. Listen closely and you will benefit because if we know our weaknesses we are far more prepared to deal with them. They go astray. They get lost easily.
