The word officer today can mean someone in power either over people or things for which they are responsible. It has been defined as "a holder of a public, civil, or ecclesiastical office."
We see a word in the Bible's New Testament translated officer some 11 times[1] but also translated servant[2] and minister.[3] The word is huperetes[4] which can refer to an assistant to a judge, or a soldier or police officer or anyone who serves someone else.
The word is often translated officer when referring to the government agents who opposed Christ but servant when used by Christ or his followers to reference ministers of the Church or kingdom of God at hand.
This might lead some people to think that Jesus did not appoint officers. He clearly did appoint men to take care of the business of the kingdom of God and we called those men the ekklesia or church but he did restrict from exercising authority one over the other.
The word huperetes was from the word eresso meaning to row. We all know we are to live by faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty. Which means that we need to take care of one another. That is what Religion use to mean before Modern Christians allowed the word to be redefined. Pure Religion was taking care of the needy of society without the covetous aid of the Benefactors and their officers of the World nor the Fathers of the earth who exercised authority one over the other through their public officers.
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus knew hard times come. Which why there were instructions about choosing Seven Men.
