Folks, we need a pastor according to God’s own heart to feed us with knowledge and understanding. After all, as sheep cannot shepherd themselves … people cannot pastor themselves. Have you ever seen or known of sheep shepherding themselves? Of course not! The Bible declares that sheep left to themselves will either go astray, or scatter.
Consider these scriptures:
- (Psalm 119:176) I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
- (Isaiah 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
- (Zechariah 13:7) Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Some of us need to WAKE UP! That’s right, if you do not have a pastor you are in danger of eternal judgment. Do this now before it’s too late — repent, believe the gospel, and submit yourself unto the Lord. Only He can give you the pastor YOU need … and He is the only One who knew this before the foundation of the world….
He/She who hath an ear to hear, let them hear.
