One who Cares for God's Flock.

Anyone who serves God by caring for His people is a minister. The Bible speaks of several kinds of ministers:

1. The priests in the Old Testament
These ministered to God in the Tabernacle and the Temple on behalf of God's people (see Deuteronomy 18:1-5).

2. The angels
These are described as God's ministers who look after His creation (see Psalm 103:20-21; Hebrews 1:13-14).

3. Jesus Christ and the apostles
Jesus is, and the apostles were, ministers of the gospel (see Ephesians 3:7; Colossians 1:7).

4. The civil authorities
In a slightly different way human rulers are said to be "God's ministers" because they maintain order in God's world (Romans 13:6, KJV). But this does not mean they are necessarily righteous before God.
In the organisation of the early Church the ministers, sometimes called deacons, looked after practical matters, while the bishops took the lead, particularly in the spiritual welfare of the Church. The example of Christ is that we should all be prepared to serve in the lowest capacity, which is just as important as leadership. Jesus washed the disciples' feet, saying: "Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister…the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." (Matthew 20:26-28, KJV).
