No person is fit for the office of a shepherd who does not understand well the disease to which sheep are susceptible, and the process of cure. Likewise, is any man fit for the pastoral office or to be a shepherd of souls who is not well acquainted with the disease of sin in all its varieties and also the remedy for this disease, and the proper way of administering it in those various cases?
He who does not know Jesus Christ as his own Savior can never recommend Him to others. He who is not saved will not lead to salvation. It may seem like it at times but I assure you, he is a wolf in shepherd’s clothing.
