Here is just a thought, we make so much about pastors but they are only mention in two books of the bible Jerimiah and Ephesians. Why is the same word translated shepherd in most all the rest of the NT scriptures. Any one that does a study on shepherds knows they are not a ruler they are just an overseer. They are a guide, protector, nurturer (binding up wounds etc) further a good shepherd does not force feed the sheep. He leads them to green pastures and good water. Does this sound like the role of the Pastor in most churches today?
