Ministers Should be Leaders
Nehemiah 3:1-32
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it…


The ministers of Christ must not only give good exhortation to their flocks, but also put their own shoulder to the work. Example is mightier than precept. The roads in the Ban de la Roche were soon levelled and put in order when the good pastor Oberlin set the example of manual toil to his parishioners.

(J. M. Randall.)
