The Church's One And Only Senior Pastor
1Pe 5:4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
The Lord Jesus is the Church's "Chief Shepherd." In other words, the Senior Pastor. Notice the definite article "the." He is not a Chief Shepherd of the Church. No, but THE Chief Shepherd of the Church.
All the rest are just His under-shepherds following His lead. Some under-shepherds may be more experienced than others in the ministry but that does not entitle them to being called the Chief Shepherd of the Church.
We evangelicals lambaste the Roman Catholic church for calling their head as the pope, when there is only one spiritual Father of the Church, God. But we do not realize that we do have of our dirty laundry that needs to be cleaned up.
