Friday, May 25

To the extent that each one has received a gift, use it in ministering to one another.—1 Pet. 4:10.

 

In his undeserved kindness, Jehovah has given each of us certain gifts, assets, abilities, or talents. We can use them to glorify him and to benefit others. (Rom. 12:4-8) Jehovah has entrusted us with a stewardship that comes with honor, trust, and responsibility. Our place in God’s arrangement is not fixed, however. It can change over time. Consider Jesus’ example. Initially, he was alone with Jehovah. (Prov. 8:22) Then he helped make other spirit creatures, the material universe, and finally, humans. (Col. 1:16) Still later, Jesus took on a new role on earth, first as a helpless baby and then as an adult. (Phil. 2:7) After his sacrificial death, Jesus returned to heavenly spirit life to become the King of God’s Kingdom in 1914. (Heb. 2:9) And after his Thousand Year Reign, Jesus will hand over his Kingdom to Jehovah so that “God may be all things to everyone.”—1 Cor. 15:28. w17.01 3:11, 12

This will be one of the most beautiful moments in history of mankind. It will be an emotional and interesting event felt here on earth as well.

Perhaps there will be a festival or celebration established, to commemorate that special day throughout eternity?

Oh yes! Like the Festival of Booths used to be! A fantastic time of pure celebration and wholesome association - all dedicated to giving thanks to Jehovah that we made it so far! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's interesting to think that Jesus helped make the angels that later became Satan and the demons. We are worried about losing some of our family at Armageddon, yet he has to abyss and later destroy some of his family...

To some extent, we all have received the gift of accurate knowledge and we all should be taking advantage of the joy we receive by having the privilege of sharing in this life-saving work.
