Ephesians 4:11–13 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Why Pastors?
Pastors are given to the Church for the building up of the flock of God. They are to prepare the people of God to work for God. The goal is that all the people of God would grow up into a mature Christian that is not tossed here and there by every wind of doctrine that may blow past.
The more knowledge of Jesus we have, the more mature we become. And the more mature we become, the more unified we become with God and with His people.
You may not be a Pastor of your local Church, but if you are a husband and father; you are the shepherd and pastor of your family. Start your building project from the ground up. Christ is the chief cornerstone, and the doctrine of the apostles and the prophets is the foundation. Happy Building!
