DEVOTIONAL
Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. (1 Corinthians 4:1)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. How shall we consider our pastors? As just one more “professional” with a college degree? As the crazy guy whose choice of music drives you nuts on the way to a Higher Things conference? As a man whose only real work is on a Sunday morning? St. Paul teaches us to think of our pastors as stewards of the mysteries of God, that is, those entrusted with the holy gifts of Christ for our good and benefit.
This week of Advent turns our attention to John the Baptist, who prepared the way of the Lord. That’s your pastor’s job—to prepare the way of the Lord. Your pastor’s job is to remind you of your Baptism, to absolve you of your sins and to give you Jesus’ Body and Blood to eat and to drink. He is there for you to confess your sins to and to give to you the saving Word of Christ’s forgiveness. When you fall into sin, your pastor is there to teach you God’s Word, call you to repentance, and point you to your Savior. Your pastor’s job is like John’s, to say, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Who takes away YOUR sins.”
Christ gives us such stewards to give us His gifts faithfully so that we will never be in doubt as to our standing with the Lord. Christ has answered for all our sins on the cross of Calvary and risen from the dead. Now that forgiveness and life need to be delivered to you by your pastor over and over until the Lord comes again.
Your pastor is never about himself. He’s always, like John the Baptist, pointing to Christ. That’s your pastor’s job: to faithfully point you to Jesus. The faithful steward points you to Jesus and it is Jesus who gives you eternal life. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings! (On Jordan’s Bank the Baptist’s Cry, LSB 344:1)
