In his excellent, The Kingdom and the Power, Peter Leithart writes:
The church is the disciplined regiment of holy warriors, the household of God, the flock of the Good Shepherd. Because of our baptism into the church, we are under the protection and care of our Master. A shepherd protects and feeds the sheep that bear his seal, as a master does his own slaves (190).
