Anytime you carry on a conversation and anywhere you are, you have an opportunity to speak well of your Lord Jesus. To equip his entire church for that privilege, the Lord Jesus gives us pastors, and he instructs his church to have high expectations of them. For instance, we should expect that they will be men of Christian character and of devotion to his Word. We train them for that, in fact, so that God’s flock will be blessed with everything their Chief Shepherd has to offer.
