Subject: The Pastor's Commission |
Bible Note: "For what is this Christian pastor intended, in the personality of his office, by the Lord who has sent him forth and commissioned him for His own service on the earth? I answer you: In the very character and structure of his office, he is a divinely appointed messenger, an ambassador, an agent of the Lord Jesus Christ, the everlasting Savior of men, to proclaim and minister His great salvation to the souls of fallen men. He is the authoritative bearer of a divine message -- of reconciliation -- of pardon -- of acceptance with God -- of spiritual consolation and strength from a God of infinite love to the homes and hearts of sinful, weary, waiting, suffering men. ... Our mission has this twofold object always in view: to glorify this exalted Savior, and to lead the souls of sinful men gratefully to receive, accept, and to live in Him, and for Him -- the honor of Jesus and the salvation of men." --Stephen H. Tying (1800-1885), from The Office and Duty of a Christian Pastor |
