THE GREATEST PASTOR OF ALL

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”

Jeremiah 3:15 KJV

I have had wonderful pastors for many years that God has given me but Jesus is the greatest Pastor of all.  One of my pastors said in one of his sermons when he was talking about our Scripture verse for this devotion “It’s sad to say but some preachers are not pastors”.

My pastor also said in his sermon that it’s very important to know what the Bible says so we will know if a preacher is preaching something that is contrary to the Word of God.  I had to leave a church because one of my pastors said there were two books in the Bible that should not be there.

Jesus is not only the greatest Pastor of all, He is also the greatest Preacher of all.  His heart is filled with unconditional love for every person in the world.  If we will study our Bible and allow what He is telling us to enter into our heart and not just our head, we will make Him very happy.

Don’t forget to pray for your pastor and also encourage and comfort them and thank God for them.  Pastors are on call twenty four hours a day and they give up time with their family to counsel us and visit us in the hospital.  Jesus gave us all His time when He was here on earth.  O how He loves us!

Heavenly Father, I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please comfort and encourage them and let them see the fruits of their labor  Please let them know how much You love them and how much You appreciate their service to You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
