His throne is the pulpit; he stands in Christ's stead; his message is the word of God; and around him are immortal souls; the Savior, unseen, is beside him; the Holy Spirit broods over the congregation; angels gaze upon the scene, and heaven and hell await the issue. What associations and what vast responsibility! Matthew Smith as quoted by John Stott in Between Two Worlds, p. 82.
