<Introduction>
When I think about how we got here today, I think that I did not come here because of my own strength and ability. I exist because of the care of my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. Because I can meet a valuable teacher through school, I am still living with this intellectual ability intellectually. And my soul has grown so much because of the nurture of spiritual teachers and spiritual teachers who prayed for my soul and nurtured with the Word. Today is celebrated as Teacher's Day.
There are many spiritual teachers in the Bible. Divide the Bible into the following:
In the patriarchal era, the patriarchal father is the spiritual teacher. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Wherever they went, they served God and built altars. And he taught his children how to serve God.
The period of the judges taught the Word through the judges and protected the country. In the age of the unified kingdom and division, God's law was taught through prophets. If they made a mistake, they proclaimed repentance, and if they obeyed, God blessed them.
Ephesians 4:11 or as an apostle, or as a prophet, or as an evangelist, or as a pastor or a teacher,
Ephesians 4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ.
The meaning of pastor is 牧 (seven trees) and 師 (master sa), meaning a teacher who beats the soul. You are a spiritual teacher, a teacher of the soul, who takes care of and guides you so that you can meet God, live according to God's will, live before God, and enter the kingdom of God. What does today's text say about dealing with such people?
1. Obey and submit to those who lead you (Hebrews 13:17).
Pastors don't do what they want to do. It is what those who are called, the calling of God, do.
Jesus entrusted the sheep of God to his disciple Peter.
If you love me, “Feed my lambs, feed my sheep, feed my sheep” (John 21:15-17).
It is to lead the saints, the Lambs of God, to the kingdom of heaven by living according to the word of God, enjoying abundant life with green pasture (fodder-food, word), by the waters (living water-word), and the word of living water.
Therefore, it is the mission of the pastor to achieve the salvation of souls.
It is to obey and obey these pastors. To obey and obey the pastor's words is to serve Jesus who has been entrusted to you as a representative and commissioner. (Reference: Matthew 22:33-46)
Obedience is what you do yourself, and obedience is what you do even if you don't like it.
Why?
1) We pray for your souls . . . … .
Gyeongseong- ajgrupnevw (69, Agrupneo) Stay awake, keep awake. It means 'not sleeping, awake, guarding'.
Ephesians 6:18 "With all prayer and supplication, praying in the Holy Spirit continually, to this end, watch and always be diligent in asking, asking for the sake of the saints."
□ The shepherd must stay awake and look after the sheep. If you are asleep, a wolf will come and bite you and kill you.
I saw the live shepherding of Mongolian nomads through T.V. In order to avenge the wolf who killed the sheep by biting the sheep, several shepherds ride horses, hold guns, and aim to kill them. Otherwise, whenever I am hungry, I will come again and ask for a sheep. The pastor keeps the sheep awake with prayer so that they do not become food for Satan and the devil.
2) He acts as if he were an accountant.
Accountant ajpodivdwmi(591, apodidomi) yield, return, sell, repay, compensate.
Therefore, there is no gain in breaking the shepherd's heart.
Let them do this with joy, and not with sorrow, otherwise it is of no benefit to you.
John 10:25 Jesus answered, I told you, but you do not believe; the works I do in my Father's name testify of me.
John 10:26 You do not believe because you are not my sheep.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
<Example>
This is the story of a church I served. The elders were there for a few minutes. The obedient elder and his children were blessed and lived well. However, the elder, who slanders, goesssips, and always opposes with complaints and dissatisfaction, lives in a very poor condition. It is difficult for his children to live. went to jail Is it coincidence? A servant of God is a messenger of the Lord commissioned by God. But the elder does not understand. Admonish and guide missionaries. made it a pleasure He is a senior citizen who lives with great pride.
The rebels who opposed Moses were Korah, Dathan, Abiram, On, and Moses. Why did He record the destruction of these adversaries through the Bible without filtration? It is a teaching that if you despise and despise the messengers sent by God, God will destroy them.

So, what should we do for such a pastor?
Hebrews 13:18 Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a good conscience, because in all things we will do good.
Hebrews 13:19 I wish more of you to pray that I may return to you sooner.
□ Intercede in prayer,
