We talk about some righteous people who became unrighteous. King Solomon that one example. He knew Jehovah good-good and the right way to worship Him. And Jehovah bless Solomon plenty, but later on, he started worshipping false gods. This one really made Jehovah vex and because of Solomon sins the Israelites suffer for plenty years. That true, the Bible say that Solomon “was laid to rest with his forefathers,” including faithful men like King David. (1 Ki. 11:​5-9, 43; 2 Ki. 23:13) But you think Jehovah will resurrect Solomon just because of the way they bury him? The Bible not tell us that one. Resurrection that gift from our loving God. He can give it to people who he want for them to serve him forever. (Job 14:​13, 14; John 6:44) You think Solomon will get that gift? That Jehovah know the answer, we not know. All we know, Jehovah will do the right thing. w24.05 4 ¶9

When we give our life to Jehovah, we can become guests in his tent. We can enjoy plenty spiritual food and friendship with other people who also na become Jehovah guests. His tent not only in one place. So Jehovah tent can be anywhere you find his faithful worshippers. (Rev. 21:3) What about faithful people who na die? You think we get good reason to say that they still guests in Jehovah tent? Yes! Why we say so? Because Jehovah remember them, so to him they still living. Jesus say: “That the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the thornbush, when he calls Jehovah ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him.”—Luke 20:​37, 38. w24.06 3 ¶6-7

Zadok went to Hebron with his weapons, ready to fight war. (1 Chron. 12:38) He was willing to follow David to fight war and protect Israel from their enemies. Maybe Zadok was not having plenty experience in fighting war, but he was really brave. How Zadok who was priest learn to be so brave? He use to be around plenty men them who were strong and brave. So it clear that he learn from them. For example, because David was brave in “leading Israel on its campaigns”, it made all the Israelite them to support him with their whole heart. (1 Chron. 11:​1, 2) David always use to depend on Jehovah for help against his enemies. (Ps. 138:3) Zadok also learn from other brave men them like Jehoiada and his son Benaiah who was in the army, and also 22 other army chiefs who support David.— 1 Chron. 11:​22-25; 12:​26-28. w24.07 3 ¶5-6

Saul did plenty bad-bad things. He really use to treat Jesus followers bad. Maybe most of the Christian dem wor thinking that he will never change. But Jesus knew that it wor possible for Paul to change and repent. He and his Pa wor able to see something good in Saul. Jesus say: “This man is a chosen vessel to me.” (Acts 9:15) Jesus even use one miracle to help Saul to repent. (Acts 7:58–8:3; 9:​1-9, 17-20) When he became Christian, his name change to the apostle Paul. Paul always show that he wor grateful for the way Jehovah wor good to him and forgave him. (1 Tim. 1:​12-15) When Paul hear that one man wor living immoral life in the congregation in Corinth, how he handle the situation? The way he handle it teach us how Jehovah can discipline us with love and show us mercy. w24.08 13 ¶15-16

Small-small, Jehovah make it more clear how sinful people can draw close to him. After Adam and Eve sin in Eden, Abel their second son wor the first human being to put faith in Jehovah. Abel made sacrifice to Jehovah because he love Him. He wanted to make Jehovah happy and draw close to Him. Abel wor shepherd, so he took some of his young sheep, kill them, and made sacrifice to Jehovah. Wetin Jehovah do? He “looked with favor on Abel and on his offering.” (Gen. 4:4) That the same way Jehovah wor happy with the sacrifices of people like Noah who love him and trust him. (Gen. 8:​20, 21) The fact that Jehovah accept their sacrifices, show that imperfect people can make Jehovah happy and draw close to him. w24.08 3 ¶5-6

It can really make us feel bad when people not treat us fair. (Eccl. 7:7) Faithful people like Job and Habakkuk, use to feel the same way. (Job 6:​2, 3; Hab. 1:​1-3) It normal to feel like that. But we need to be careful about the way we act so we can’t do the wrong thing and make the problem worse. When people do bad thing and it look like nobody punish them, maybe we will start thinking that it not important to do the right thing. That what happen to the psalmist when he see how the wicked people wor enjoying life more than the righteous. He say: “These are the wicked, who always have it easy.” (Ps. 73:12) He wor also feeling bad to see how people wor not treating each other fair. It almost made him to stop serving Jehovah. So he say: “When I tried to understand it, it was troubling to me.”—Ps. 73:​14, 16. w24.11 3 ¶5-7

We give honor to Jehovah because we really respect him. We get plenty reasons to respect him. Jehovah that the almighty, and nobody get power equal to him. (Ps. 96:​4-7) You can see that he get plenty sense from the thing dem he made. He give us life and the thing dem we need to live. (Rev. 4:11) He loyal. (Rev. 15:4) Everything he do can be successful, and he can always stick to his promise. (Josh. 23:14) That the reason why the prophet Jeremiah say: “Among all the wise ones of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one at all like you”! (Jer. 10:​6, 7) Yes, we get good reasons to respect our Father in heaven. All the thing dem Jehovah na do must make us to respect him and love him. And the main reason why we give Jehovah honor that because we really love him. w25.01 3 ¶5-6

God enemies been trying to make the good-good things about Jehovah organization to look bad. For example, we na learn from the Bible that Jehovah want us to keep our body and conduct clean and to worship him the right way. He say that anybody who continue doing bad-bad things and refuse to change, they must move that person from the congregation. (1 Cor. 5:​11, 12; 6:​9, 10) And we obeying this Bible command. But people who against us can make it look like we not love people, we can condemn them and we can’t allow people to do what they want do. We must know who really attacking the organization. That Satan the Devil behind all this lie-lie stories. He “the father of the lie.” (John 8:44; Gen. 3:​1-5) So we must expect that Satan will use the people who on his side to talk all kind na lie-lie things about Jehovah organization. w24.04 10-11 ¶13-14

Even after the great tribulation start, it possible that some people who will see the destruction of “Babylon the Great” will remember that Jehovah Witnesses been talking about it for plenty years. You think some people who will see this thing them will change their heart and join Jehovah people? (Rev. 17:5) If this one happen, then it will be just like the same thing that happen in Egypt during Moses time. Remember that “a vast mixed company” join the Israelites when they were leaving from Egypt. Maybe Some of this people started putting faith in Jehovah when they saw how the Ten Plagues that Moses talk about, came true. (Ex. 12:38) If something like this happen after they destroy Babylon the Great, you think we must feel that it not fair for Jehovah to allow people to come join us right before Armageddon start? No! We want be just like our heavenly Father, “a God merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth.”—Ex. 34:6. w24.05 11 ¶12-13

Wetin will happen if we stop sticking to the things we na learn from the Bible? Let talk about one example. Way back, news started spreading among some Christians that Jehovah day na come. Maybe they get this information from one letter that they were thinking the apostle Paul write. Some Christians in Thessalonica not even check to see whether the information was true. They believe it and they even started spreading it. If they were coming to remember the things Paul teach them when he was with them, they were not coming let this information to fool them. (2 Thess. 2:​1-5) Paul counsel his brother and sister them to not believe everything they hear. And to help them in the future, Paul end his second letter to the Thessalonians by saying: “Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.”—2 Thess. 3:17. w24.07 12 ¶13-14

Things were really getting bad in Judea, so the Hebrew Christians needed to get strong faith. Even though some of them face serious persecution before, plenty of them not experience it because they became Christians during the short time they were enjoying peace. The apostle Paul remind them that even though they na bear hard time before, but they not even suffer like the way Jesus suffer and die. (Heb. 12:4) But when plenty people started becoming Christians, it make the Jews who were against them to be vex bad way. Few years before, more than 40 Jews “bound themselves with a curse, saying that they will not eat or drink until they kill Paul.” (Acts 22:22; 23:​12-14) That true, the religious people were coming to persecute the Christians and hate them. But the Christian them still needed to worship Jehovah together, preach the good news, and continue to get strong faith. w24.09 12 ¶15

John wor close friend and apostle to Jesus Christ. (Matt. 10:2) John spend plenty time with Jesus preaching, and he saw him perform miracles. He remain faithful to Jesus when he wor going through different-different problems. He wor there when they kill Jesus and he saw him when he came back to life. He also saw the Christian congregation growing big until the good news wor “preached in all creation under heaven.” (Col. 1:23) When John wor very old, he wor having the privilege to write the book of Revelation. (Rev. 1:1) He write the Gospel book that get his name. John also write three other Bible books. He write his third letter to one faithful Christian name Gaius, who he love like his own child. (3 John 1) What that faithful man write na encourage all Jesus disciples from that time to our time. w24.11 12 ¶15-16

Husband who love his wife can value her. He look at her to be precious gift from Jehovah. (Prov. 18:22; 31:10) And because of that, he can be kind and show her respect even when they having sex. He will not lay down with her in the way that will make her to feel bad, shame or bother her conscience. He will also try to not do anything that will bother his conscience. (Acts 24:16) Husbands, you can be sure that Jehovah seeing that you trying your best to show love and respect to your wife in everything you say and do. Continue to show love and respect to your wife by not doing anything that will make her to feel bad. You can also do it by being kind, respectful and showing love to her. If you do it, you will show that you love her and value her. When you show love and respect to your wife, you will be protecting your friendship with Jehovah. And that the most important one.—Ps. 25:14. w25.01 13 ¶17-18

One thing that make Jehovah people different from the people who call theirself Christians, that the zeal they get for the field service. So wetin can help us to continue preaching or get more zeal for the field service? We can learn something from Jesus example about how to get zeal for the field service. When he wor on earth, he never allow his zeal for the field service to go down. In fact, he continue to do more in the preaching work. The man who wor working in the grape garden work hard for three years but still the fig tree not bear any fruit. That the same way Jesus spend three years preaching to the Jews, but plenty of them not listen to him. But just how the man who wor working in the grape garden not give up on the fig tree, that the same way Jesus not give up on the people or allow his zeal for the field service to go down. (Luke 13:​6-9) We can continue to get zeal if we learn from what Jesus teach and the thing dem he use to do. w25.03 14-15 ¶1-4

But what if you see somebody and you think they will be good for you? You must just tell the person how you feel about them right away? The Bible say wise person can know about something first before they act. So it will be wise for you to keep it to yourself and look at the person for some time before telling them how you feel about them. How you can take your time to know the other person? You can do it to the meetings or when yor go for get-together. Maybe during that time, you will get to know the person behavior and whether they spiritual. Who them he friendly with? Wetin he like talking about? (Luke 6:45) Yor get the same goals? You can ask the elders in his congregation or other mature Christians who know him good-good. (Prov. 20:18) You can also find out about whether he get good name and the quality them he get. (Ruth 2:11) When you observing the person, be careful to not embarrass them. Respect the person feelings. And don’t try to be around them every time and want know everything about them. w24.05 22 ¶7-8

The elder dem must not be quick to think that the person who commit serious sin will not repent. Some people can repent the first time the committee meet with them, but some people need more time. So the elder dem can meet with the person more than one time. Maybe after the elder dem meet with the person the first time, he will go and start thinking about the thing they tell him. Maybe he will bring his self down and pray to Jehovah to forgive him. (Ps. 38:18) Then maybe when the elder dem meet with him the next time, he will change his attitude. To help the person who sin to repent, the elder dem must feel sorry for the person and be kind. They hope and pray that Jehovah will bless their efforts and that their brother will come to his self and repent.—2 Tim. 2:​25, 26. w24.08 22-23 ¶12-13

Jehovah not want anybody to be destroy! He want people who sin to come back to him. (2 Cor. 5:20) That the reason why Jehovah always use to encourage his people who leave him to repent and come back to him. So the elder dem must follow Jehovah example to help people who na sin to repent. (Rom. 2:4; 1 Cor. 3:9) Just imagine how everyone in heaven can be happy when people repent! Anytime somebody come back to the congregation, Jehovah can really be happy. When we think on how Jehovah can feel sorry for us, show us mercy, and be kind to us, our love for him will continue to grow.—Luke 1:78. w24.08 31 ¶16-17

If Jesus wor coming allow the people to make him king, he wor coming put his hand in politics. Jesus move from there and went to the mountain. Even though people wor putting pressure on him, he not agree to put his hand in politics. That good lesson here for us! We know people will not ask us to perform miracle to provide food, heal sick people or be their king. But maybe they will encourage us to put our hand in politics by voting, or supporting somebody who they feel will make things better. Jesus set good example. He refuse to put his hand in politics. And later on, he even say: “My Kingdom is no part of this world.” (John 17:14; 18:36) Today, we who serving Jehovah must think like Jesus and follow his example. We must preach about God Kingdom, show our support, and pray for it to come.—Matt. 6:10. w24.12 4 ¶5-6

When you study, look for ways to apply the thing dem you learning. For example, be like Jehovah by treating other people fair. Like Jesus, be willing to do what Jehovah want you to do, and help your brother and sister dem even if it will make life hard for you. Also, follow Jesus example by preaching to other people so they can get the opportunity to put faith in the ramson. The more we understand and be grateful for the ransom, that the more we will love Jehovah and his Son. Then their love for us will grow too. (Jas. 4:8) So let use the different-different tools that Jehovah na gave us to continue learning about the ransom. w25.01 25 ¶16-17

We can interpret the theme scripture for today daily text to: you na take all my sins from in front of you. This one mean that when somebody repent, Jehovah can throw their sins away and he can’t look at it again. It can also mean: You make [my sins] just like it never happen. The Bible also give another example to make the point more clear in Micah 7:​18, 19. This Bible verse say: Jehovah throw our sins way in the sea. Way back, when they throw something in the sea, it wor hard for somebody to go and take it from there. From the different-different example dem, we na learn that when Jehovah forgive our sin, it just like he take heavy load from on our head. That the reason why David say, “happy are those whose lawless deeds have been pardoned and whose sins have been covered.” (Rom. 4:7) Yes, we call this one true forgiveness! w25.02 9 ¶7-8

We get paradise on earth today where plenty good-good things happening. It get plenty people who enjoying real peace. Those who already in this paradise na decide not to move from there. They also want plenty people to join them and enjoy this special condition. This special condition that wetin? That the spiritual paradise! It really wonderful to see how Jehovah help his people to be peaceful and united in this wicked world where Satan na make plenty people to hate each other. (1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:12) Our loving God can see how this wicked world na damage people lives. So he provide this peaceful condition where his people will be happy serving him. His Word the Bible say the spiritual paradise looking like safe “refuge” and “well-watered garden.” (Isa. 4:6; 58:11) With Jehovah blessing, those who in this spiritual paradise feeling happy and protected in this last days that hard to deal with.—Isa. 54:14; 2 Tim. 3:1. w24.04 20 ¶1-2

For sure, you na pray to Jehovah to help you find the person you really want. That true, Jehovah not promise anybody that he will find marriage mate for them. But he care about your feelings and what you need, and he able to help you when you trying to find marriage mate. So continue praying to Jehovah about how you feeling and what you want. (Ps. 62:8) Pray for patience and wisdom. (Jas. 1:5) Even if it taking long time to find somebody you will get marry to, Jehovah promise to continue to take care of you and give you the love and attention that you need. (Ps. 55:22) But be careful. Don’t allow finding somebody to marry to be the most important thing in your life. (Phil. 1: 10) Real happiness not depend on whether you marry or single. It depend on your friendship with Jehovah. (Matt. 5:3) And the time you still single, maybe you will get more freedom to do more in your ministry. (1 Cor. 7: 32, 33) Use this time the best way. w24.05 21 ¶4; 22 ¶6

How long you must date for? When you rush to make decisions most of the time it can bring problems. (Prov. 21:5) So your dating must just be long enough for you to know each other good-good. But you must not date too long for no good reason. The Bible also say: “Expectation postponed makes the heart sick.” (Prov. 13:12) Wetin other people can do when two people dating? We can invite them to eat with us, for family worship, or for get-together. (Rom. 12:13) They need chaperone or someone to be with them? They need help with transportation, or private place where they can talk? If so, we can help them if we see the need. (Gal. 6:10) If people who dating ask you to be their chaperone, see it like opportunity to help them. Be careful to not leave them by their self in area where nobody around. But you must be able to know when they need time and space to talk in private. w24.05 30 ¶13-14

The elder dem must try to know wetin make the person to sin. For example, the person wor getting weak small-small because they wor not doing their personal study or going field service? He wor not always praying to Jehovah? He been allowing wrong desires to control him? He not choose good friends or the things he decide to enjoy his self with? How the decision dem he made affect him? He understand how Jehovah feel about the decisions he made and the thing he do? When the elders ask question dem like this, it can help the person to think on what they na do. But they must be careful to not ask questions that will embarrass the person. (Prov. 20:5) Beside that, they can use examples to help the person to think about the thing they do and know why it wor wrong. The first time they meet with the person, maybe the person will even repent and feel sorry for the thing he do. w24.08 22 ¶9-11

Jesus preach “the good news about the Kingdom” with zeal because he know that the work God wanted him to do. He made the preaching work the most important thing in his life. Even during his last few months on earth, he use to go to “different-different cities and village dem,” to teach people. (Luke 13:22) He also train more disciples to preach with him. (Luke 10:1) Today too, the preaching work that the main work Jehovah and Jesus want us to do. (Matt. 24:14; 28:​19, 20) We can make our zeal for the field service more strong by seeing people the same way Jehovah see them. If it possible, he want plenty people to hear the good news and accept it. (1 Tim. 2:​3, 4) So he training us to know how to preach good-good so people can be safe. Even if people not listen now-now, maybe they will get the opportunity to listen before the great tribulation end. w25.03 15-16 ¶5-7

Each of us can use our Bible-train conscience to decide what to do when it come to somebody who they move from the congregation. Some people can decide to tell the person hello or welcome the person to the meeting. But we must not stay long talking with them or spend time with them. Maybe some people will be thinking, ‘Ehn the Bible say when we tell the person hello, then we taking part in his sin?’ (2 John 9-11) The other Bible verse them around this verse help us to see that it talking about apostates and people who committing serious sin and encouraging other people to do it. (Rev. 2:20) So if somebody continue promoting apostate teachings or other wrong behavior, the elder dem will not visit that person. But it still possible for that person to repent. Nobody will say hello to that person or even invite him to the meeting until he repent. w24.08 30-31 ¶14-15

After Jesus gave the people food, the apostle dem use boat to go back to Capernaum, and Jesus went to the mountain so the people can’t make him king. (John 6:​16-20) While the apostle dem wor in the boat going, some kindna heavy storm start blowing. Then Jesus start walking on the water coming to them. He tell the apostle Peter to walk on the water and come to him. (Matt. 14:​22-31) As soon Jesus enter the boat, the heavy storm stop blowing. The apostle dem mouth wor full so they say: You really God Son for true. (Matt. 14:33) But still, they not really understand what this two miracle dem get in common. So Mark say: “[The apostles] were utterly amazed, for they had not grasped the meaning of the loaves.” (Mark 6:​50-52) They not really understand the kindna power Jehovah gave Jesus to perform miracles. w24.12 5 ¶7

We can show that we grateful for Jehovah love by using this Memorial season to show to Jehovah how we grateful for the ransom. Beside planning to be there for the Memorial, we must try to invite other people too. When you invite people to the Memorial, tell them some of the things that will happen there. It good to show them the videos Why Jesus Die? and Remember Jesus Death on jw.org. The elder dem must try hard to invite inactive publishers. Just imagine how everyone in heaven and on earth will be happy to see some of Jehovah lost sheep coming back to him! (Luke 15:​4-7) During the Memorial, we must not only speak to each other, but we must try our best to speak to people who come to the Memorial for the first time, or people who stop coming for long time. We want make them to feel that they welcome there!—Rom. 12:13. w25.01 29 ¶15

Even though the ransom na help us to understand that Jehovah love justice, but it also help us to know that he really love us. (John 3:16; 1 John 4:​9, 10) The teaching of the ransom show that Jehovah want us to live forever and also be part of his family. Let think about this one: When Adam sin, Jehovah move him from His family. Because of that, we can’t be part of Jehovah family when they born us. But because of the ransom, anybody who put faith in God and obey him will be part of his family. Even now-now we can get good friendship with Jehovah and with our brother and sister dem. Yes, Jehovah really love us for true!—Rom. 5:​10, 11. w25.01 21 ¶6

We sure you will agree that the ransom that important gift! (2 Cor. 9:15) Because Jesus die for you, you can get close friendship with Jehovah God. It can also give you the hope to live forever. We get plenty reasons to tell Jehovah thank you for the ransom because he really love us! (Rom. 5:8) To help us to be grateful and never forget the ransom, Jesus tell us to attend the Memorial every year. (Luke 22:​19, 20) This year, the Memorial will be on Thursday, April 2, 2026. We sure that all of us planning to be there. We will really benefit if we take time during the Memorial season to think on what Jehovah and his Son Jesus na do for us. w25.01 20 ¶1-2

You can continue to learn about the love that Jehovah and Jesus get for you, if you continue to think good-good on the thing dem they na do for you. Maybe during this year Memorial season, you can take your own time to read one or more of this book dem: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But don’t read plenty chapters one time. Stop small and think on more reasons why you love Jehovah and Jesus. If you na stay long in the truth, maybe you will be thinking whether you can learn new things on the subject dem you already know, like God justice, his love and the ransom. To talk the truth, we will always learn new things about this thing dem and other topics. So read and study our publication dem to find more information. w25.01 24-25 ¶13-15
