The Watchman's Burden
Commentators stress that the role of a spiritual watchman, like a prophet or pastor, is incredibly serious. God entrusts souls to their care and holds them directly accountable for failing to warn people of sin and its consequences. As John Calvin notes, it's as if God commits souls to their care with the condition that they must give an account for each one. This is not a casual duty but a weighty, divine appointment.
