Shepherds of the Flock
1 Peter 5:2-4 tells the reader to remember that leading a flock should be done with God given oversight (direction) and not human compulsion. Also it tells the reader to not dominate the flock but to be an example to them in said leadership. No one wants a leader who is telling you what to do and not being a good example of that. If my leader says that we should serve and read the word, and they don't serve or read the word, then they aren't being a good leader nor are they being a good example to the flock. We need flock leaders to hold themselves accountable and also be held accountable.

Receive the Kingdom like a Child
Children depend on their parents and guardians for many things. Children need food and shelter and clothing and most importantly love. Children need guidance too. How can a child come to know Jesus and who he was if the parents do not tell or lead the child?
The disciples were trying to stop the children from being brought to Jesus. But Jesus corrected their actions and said "Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
Jesus wants us to be humble when we seek the Kingdom. Children receive God's blessing without pretending they don't need it. We need God. We need His will ion our lives. Children are dependent on parents like we should be dependent on God for all we need.
