You must be a soul winner because shepherds and pastors are supposed to notice the lost souls around them.
Matthew 9:36-37 KJV
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. [37] Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Sometimes, when driving to church, I see crowds of people streaming down the road. I often ask myself, "How many of these people know Christ as their Saviour? How many will really die in Christ? How many of them go to church on Sunday morning?"
Dear friend, there are millions of people around you. I don't know if you notice that there are so many precious souls who have just a short time to live before tasting eternity. How many people will die in Christ? How many will live again?
Every pastor's burden must be for souls. The burden for souls is not just for evangelists! The Lord Jesus testified of Himself:
I am the good shepherd (pastor)...
-John 10:11
Jesus was the best pastor that ever lived and yet He said:
For the Son of man is come to SEEK and to SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST.
- Luke 19:10
A good pastor is one who seeks and saves the lost. Some people think that a good pastor just thinks about caring for already existing sheep. Do you remember this Scripture?
1 Timothy 1:15 KJV
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
