Paul’s farewell speech to the Ephesian elders was both a call to faithful leadership and a warning about apostasy. His message remains relevant today, reminding believers that as deception increases in the Church Age, we must stand firm in truth, guarding the flock until Christ’s return.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
Numbers 6:24-25 (NIV)
