The Importance of the Pastor-Teacher

 

“. . . And He gave gifts to men . . . And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastor-teachers, for the training and equipping of the saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God to a mature status, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.  In order that we no longer be children tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of (false) doctrine, by the trickery of men . . . ”                                              ~Ephesians 4:8a, 11-14

 

“Therefore I exhort the elders among you .  . . shepherd the flock of God among you . . . nor yet lording it over those allotted to your charge . . . ”

                                                                               ~I Peter 5:1a, 2-3

 

“Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these? . . .Tend (or feed) my lambs . . . Shepherd my sheep . . . Tend (or feed) my sheep.” 

                                                                               ~John 21: 15-17

 

“But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”

                                                                                ~Matthew 4:4

 

“Thy words were found and I did eat them, and Thy words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart . . .”                            ~Jeremiah 15: 16
