Would you like to know the biggest difference between a pastor and a Christian? Here it is: On the last day, the Christian only has to give one account. The pastor has to give two. Did you know you have to give an account, an explanation for yourself on the last day? As a Christian you need only give one such accounting; the pastor, I'm afraid, has to give two. One for himself, since he also is manager over himself, and another account for those he pastored.
Now this is a sobering thought. This is what led one puritan to remark to the pastor who longs to have a larger congregation, that when it comes time to give account for his management of souls, he will think his church was plenty large enough.
Pastors are responsible before God for the souls which they pastor. This is a good thing designed by God. This is what pastors are for. This is the way things should be.
