Who is a minister?

Luke 6:39-42

From the Google dictionary, a minister is either a member of the clergy or someone who attends to.

The word being taught by the Church refers to the ministry that is passed on by the Apostles and by which persons safeguard and continue the work of salvation coming from Jesus Christ.  The ones who safeguard and continue the saving work of Jesus passed on by the apostles are ministers.

Perhaps, the gospel can provide us with the light to know the minister in the level of the heart.

First, the minister himself is a student; a follower of his teacher.  Second, the minister never intends to harm or fall into destruction the one is ministering.  And third, the minister also ministers himself before he can minister to others.

If we allow ourselves to be touched by the Lord, definitely, we shall be ministering our brothers and sisters with the very heart of Jesus.
