First, A Shepherd among Men is one that is not Lord of the Flock, but a Servant to take care of them, and charge of them. This holdeth good of Christ, as Mediator; for he is God's Elect Servant, the Servant of his Decrees: The Flock are his, not in point of Dominion, Right, and original Interest; but in point of Trust and Charge: So Christ is Lord of the Faithful as God; but as Mediator he hath an Office and Service about them, and is to give an Account of them to God, when he bringeth them home, and leadeth them into their Everlasting Fold. Joh. 6.37. to 40. with 1 Cor. 15.24, 25. Heb. 2.13. Behold I, and the Children, which God hath given me. Jude 24. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the Presence of his Glory. And Col. 1.22. To present you holy, and unblameable, and unreprovable in his sight.
