The church, as a congregation, does not always remember that its pastor is also a human being. The Scriptures make a point of the fact that each year in the sanctuary ceremony the high priest offered a lamb as an atonement for himself and his family before he ministered for the people. He was subject to the same weaknesses as those for whom he interceded. Another detail, unfortunately also often forgotten, is that over the pastor rests the divine unction, a sacred separation, a consecration to divine service.
