WHO ARE GOD'S TRUE AND LOYAL MINISTERS? WHAT ARE THERE GOD-ORDAINED JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY?

• The priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me... saith the Lord GOD:  (Eze 44:15 KJV)

• They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.  (Eze 44:16 KJV)

• And they shall teach My people to discern between the holy and common, and between the unclean and the clean.  (Eze 44:23 MKJV) 

• You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;  (Lev 10:10 HNV) 

• and that you are to TEACH the Children of Yisra'el ALL THE STATUTES which the LORD has spoken to them by Moshe. (Lev 10:11 HNV) 

• And in a dispute they shall stand in judgment; and they shall JUDGE IT ACCORDING TO MY JUDGMENTS. AND THEY SHALL KEEP MY LAWS AND MY STATUTES in all MY ASSEMBLIES (congregations or churches)...  (Eze 44:24 MKJV)

From John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:And in controversy they shall stand in judgment,.... When any controversy arises among the saints concerning civil things, this shall not be carried into a court of judicature, of the men of the world; but it shall be brought before the church, and there heard, tried, judged, and determined; the ministers of the word there presiding, who shall give the definitive sentence, and stand to it, and abide by it, 1Co_6:1 and when any controversy arises about the doctrines of the Gospel, or modes of worship, or rules of discipline, they shall rise up, discuss the point, determine the question, pass the sentence, and not depart from it:

and they shall judge it according to my judgments; not according to their own judgments, or according to their own fancies, or the reasonings of their own minds, but according to those directions and rules given in the word of God; which is profitable for the settling and establishing true doctrine, and the reproof and correction of error, and for the instruction of men in the paths of righteousness:

and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; which assemblies are the churches of Christ, gathered according to Gospel order; where the saints assemble together for divine worship, and where the Lord grants his presence; and where his word is preached, and his ordinances administered, and so called his; and of which assemblies Gospel ministers are the masters, and where they preside; and whose business is to observe the laws and statutes the Lord has made, and to interpret them unto the people, and enforce them on them, and see that they are kept by them. -- GILL

The Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible, says:It was part of the Churches' business to teach the people; and herein they must approve themselves both skillful and faithful (Eze_44:23): They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the profane, between good and evil, lawful and unlawful, that they may neither scruple what is lawful nor venture upon what is unlawful, that they may not pollute what is holy nor pollute themselves with what is profane. Ministers must take pains to cause people to discern between the clean and the unclean, that they may not confound the distinctions between right and wrong, nor mistake concerning them, so as to put darkness for light and light for darkness, but may have a good judgment of discretion concerning their own actions.

It was part of their business to judge upon appeals made to them (Deu_17:8, Deu_17:9); and in controversy they shall stand in judgment, Eze_44:24. They shall have the honesty to stand up for what is right, and, when they have passed a right judgment, shall have the courage to stand to it and stand by it.

They must judge, not according to their own fancies, or inclinations, or secular interests, but according to God's judgments; that must be their rule and standard.

Note, Ministers must decide controversies according to the word of God, to the law and to the testimony. Sit liber judex - Let the judge be unbiased. Their business is to keep courts in God's name, to preside in the congregations of his people. And herein they must go to the statute-book: They shall keep my statutes in all my assemblies. God calls the assemblies of his people his assemblies, because they are held in his name, to his glory. Ministers are the masters of those assemblies, are to preside in them, and in all their acts must keep close to God's laws. -- HENRY

• For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.  (Mal 2:7 KJV)
