This passage speaks specifically to our relationship with our shepherds who are over us in the Lord. As with any relationship, there are duties for both parties to be pursuing in order for a relationship to be successful. Look at this passage and see what duties you have to pursue in your relationship with your shepherds and what duties they have in pursuing their relationship with you. How vital to you is your relationship with the shepherds God has given you?
"As every troop or company in a regiment of soldiers must have its own captain and other officers, and every soldier knows his own commander and colours; so it is the will of God, that every church should have its own pastor, and that all Christ's disciples 'should know their teachers that are over them in the Lord.'" ~Richard Baxter (1656)
