Wednesday, October 6

Go, report to my brothers so that they may go to Galilee, and there they will see me.—Matt. 28:10.

 

Jesus must have some very important instructions to give his disciples, for this meeting is the first thing he arranges after his resurrection! At the meeting that Jesus organized, he outlined the vital work that his disciples would accomplish throughout the first century—the same work that we are accomplishing today. Jesus said: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, . . . teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” (Matt. 28:19, 20) Jesus wants all his followers to preach. He did not limit this command to the 11 faithful apostles. How can we be so sure? Well, were only the apostles present when the command to make disciples was given on that mountain in Galilee? Recall that the angel said to the women: “You will see him [in Galilee].” (Matt. 28:7) So faithful women must also have been present on that occasion. w20.01 2-3 ¶1-4

The command of preaching to all people also applies to us sisters but Jehovah knows that we sometimes have challenges of going out to the ministry. In the Bible Jehovah gave us examples of faithful women who did this work regardless of any  situations, like ill-health, bearing & raising children, taking care of household chores, etc.

For our preaching work to be more effective we need to improve the quality of our disciple-making work & helping people to get baptized. Teaching is more than preaching because it involves coming repeatedly to the student with the intention of striving to reach his/her heart.

 Jesus has always been preparing , directing and being the head of the congregation. Jesus is still at the forefront of the preaching work. How blessed women are to have excellent qualities that make them great teachers and preachers.  What would we ever do without them?
