Pastor Sam is simply saying that as opposed to the self-serving nature of modern-day leaders, they should put first the interest of those who have entrusted to them the leadership position they occupy. A good shepherd is one who will thrust his hands into the mouth of a lion in order to deliver his sheep. Jesus explaining his love and sacrifice, asked this question:
