Wednesday, March 27

[Seek] first the Kingdom.—Matt. 6:33.

 

The disciples were very sad when Jesus died. Not only had they lost their beloved friend but they also felt as though they had lost their hope. (Luke 24:17-21) However, when Jesus appeared to them, he took the time to help them understand his role in fulfilling Bible prophecy. He also gave them an important work to do. (Luke 24:26, 27, 45-48) By the time Jesus ascended to heaven, the sadness of the disciples had turned into great joy. Knowing that their Master was alive and ready to help them accomplish their new commission made them happy. Their joy moved them to praise Jehovah without letup. (Luke 24:52, 53; Acts 5:42) To imitate Jesus’ disciples requires that we put God’s Kingdom first in our life. Although we need endurance to serve Jehovah continually, he promises to bless us richly if we do so.—Prov. 10:22. w23.01 30-31 ¶15-16

You have removed my sackcloth, and you clothe me with rejoicing"-RNWT

 

"Then he turned my sorrow into joy! He took away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy"-Living English Bible
