The Priests’ Failure
- If you are not listening to God, you cannot faithfully represent him.
- The aim of the spiritual leader is not to secure an easy, cozy, entertainment-driven lifestyle that the world demands we have.
- “Going through the motions” is death to the worship of God’s people.
- Ministry leadership among God’s people is so important, that it is the means by which God protects and shepherds his people.
God’s Answer
- God will judge spiritual leaders more harshly because of their responsibility.
- God feeds his sheep with his Word, not with the opinions of his leaders.
- God expects true teaching and godly character in the life of pastors and spiritual leaders.
Our Response
- Pray for and encourage your leaders.
- Hold your leaders to a high standard.
- Look to Jesus, our true and perfect Priest.
- In Jesus, we have a priest who does listen.
- We have a priest who is holy.
- We have a priest who has not turned aside.
- We have a priest who has not broken the covenant, but who has fulfilled it all and represents us.
