The eye of Jehovah watches over those fearing him.—Ps. 33:18.

 

On the night before he died, Jesus made a special request to his heavenly Father. He asked Jehovah to watch over his followers. (John 17:15, 20) Jehovah has always watched over—cared for and protected—his people. However, Jesus knew that his followers would face unprecedented opposition from Satan. Jesus also realized that they would need Jehovah’s help to resist the Devil’s wicked attacks. Satan’s system puts an immense amount of pressure on true Christians today. We face adversities that can discourage us and even test our loyalty to Jehovah. But we have nothing to fear. Jehovah is watching over us—he sees the challenges we are facing, and he is ever ready to help us deal with them. Yes, Jehovah “watches over those fearing him . . . to rescue them.”—Ps. 33:18-20. w22.08 8 ¶1-2

An RV texted me yesterday and asked if March 24th was the night Jesus died? So I sent her brief info about when Jesus instituted the Lord’s evening meal, and being based on the lunar calendar. So today’s scriptures I will send the info that the Passover was to be celebrated 2 days later and that the Pharisees wanted him gone before then, so the planning took place. Then explain that Jesus instituted the memorial on day 14 of the month Nisan, which was the night he died.
