Being a minister of the gospel means fulfilling a significant role. Biblical Scholar James Earl Massey described it as “stewards of the story.” For Massey, “The Story” is the biblical truth which we have been called to preach. … preaching is not a thing to be taken lightly, but a weighty task which demands the best we have. It is very humbling to me that God has called us to this great task. We are preachers commissioned to tell The Story. We act as “agents of grace.” Our agency involves announcing the reality of sin. It also includes sharing the truth of God’s love.
