1. Why it good to attend the Memorial every year?

 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.

 2. Wetin we will talk about in this article?

² This year, the Memorial will be on Saturday, April 12, 2025. 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. In this article, we will learn what the ransom teach us about Jehovah and his Son. The next article will help us to understand  how we can benefit from the ransom and how we can show that we grateful for it.

WETIN THE RANSOM TEACH US ABOUT JEHOVAH?

 3. How one man death wor able to free plenty people? (Also see the picture.)

³ The ransom teach us about Jehovah justice. (Deut. 32:4) How? Just think about this one: Because we get sin from Adam, that why we can die. (Rom. 5:12) So to free us from sin and death, Jehovah send Jesus to die for us. But how one perfect man sacrifice wor able to free plenty people? The apostle Paul say: “Just as through the disobedience of the one man [Adam] many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one person [Jesus] many will be made righteous.” (Rom. 5:19; 1 Tim. 2:6) In other words, that one perfect man who disobey made us to be slave to sin and death. So, that one perfect man who obey free us.

 4. Why Jehovah not just allow Adam children who obey him to live forever?

⁴ You think Jehovah wor really force to send Jesus to die for us? Why Jehovah not just allow Adam children to live forever? Maybe we will think that the best way to solve this problem. But for Jehovah, it wor not the right thing to do. Because Jehovah fair, he will never close his eye to the bad things that Adam do.

 5. Why we can be sure that Jehovah will always do the right thing?

⁵ Suppose Jehovah wor not coming provide the ransom, but put his justice one side by allowing Adam and Eve children to live forever? Maybe people wor going to say that the same way God will not stick to his justice in the future. For example, maybe they will think that he will not stick to some of his promise. We must not worry that it will happen like that. The fact that Jehovah sacrifice his own Son just to do the right thing, convince us that he will always do the right thing.

 6. What other quality made Jehovah to send his Son? (1 John 4:​9, 10)

⁶ 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; read 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.

 7. How Jesus suffering help us to understand that Jehovah really love us?

⁷ We can understand good-good that Jehovah really love us if we think about what he pass through to provide the ransom. Satan say nobody who serving God will remain faithful to Him when they going through problem. To prove that Satan lying, Jehovah allow Jesus to suffer before he die. (Job 2:​1-5; 1 Pet. 2:21) Jehovah wor seeing the religious leaders playing fun out of his Son, the soldier people beating him, and they nail him to the stake. Then he also see how his dear Son suffer and die painful way. (Matt. 27:​28-31, 39) Jehovah wor having the power to stop any of this thing dem from happening. For example, he wor coming do it when the people who wor against Jesus say: “If God really want help him let God save him now.” (Matt. 27:​42, 43) If Jehovah wor coming save his Son, Jesus wor not coming to die for us and we wor not coming get any hope. So Jehovah allow his Son to suffer until he die.

 8. You think Jehovah feel pain when he see his Son suffering? Explain. (Also see the picture.)

⁸ We must not think that God not get feelings because he get all the power! Jehovah get feelings like us because he made us in his image. The Bible say Jehovah can feel hurt and he can grieve. (Ps. 78:​40, 41) Let look at the example of Abraham and Isaac. Ehn you can remember that Jehovah tell Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac? (Gen. 22:​9-12; Heb. 11:​17-19) Just think about the different-different way Abraham wor feeling when he wor coming kill his son Isaac. We can be sure that Jehovah wor feeling bad. In fact, he wor feeling bad more than Abraham because He wor seeing how the wicked people wor treating his Son bad, and they even kill him!—Go on jw.org and watch the video Imitate Their Faith—Abraham, Part 2.

 9. Wetin you can learn from Romans 8:​32, 38, 39 about Jehovah love for you and your brothers and sisters?

⁹ The ransom teach us that nobody love us like Jehovah, not even our close relative or our best friend. (Read Romans 8:​32, 38, 39.) We can be sure that Jehovah love us more than we love our self. You want live forever? Jehovah want you to live forever more than you want it for yourself. You  want Jehovah to forgive your sins? He want forgive you more than you think. The only thing he asking us to do that to put faith in the ransom and obey him. The ransom that precious gift that show how Jehovah really love us. And in the new world, we will even learn more about Jehovah love.—Eccl. 3:11.

WETIN THE RANSOM TEACH US ABOUT JESUS?

10. (a) What made Jesus to really feel bad about his death? (b) How Jesus clear his pa name? (See the box “ Jesus Clear Jehovah Name by Remaining Faithful.”)

¹⁰ Jesus really care about his Pa name. (John 14:31) Jesus wor feeling bad that his pa name was coming spoil because the people say he not get respect for God and he criminal. That why Jesus pray and say: “My Father, if it possible, let this cup pass by me.” (Matt. 26:39) But because Jesus remain faithful to Jehovah until he die, it prove that all the thing dem Satan say about Jehovah name that so-so lie.

11. How Jesus show that he really love people? (John 13:1)

¹¹ The ransom also teach us that Jesus really care for people, especially his disciple dem. (Prov. 8:31; read John 13:1.) For example, Jesus knew that some of the thing dem he wor coming do on earth wor coming be hard for him, like the painful way he wor coming die. But Jesus do all this thing dem not because Jehovah tell him to do it, but because he love people. Jesus put his whole heart in preaching, teaching, and serving other people. So even on the day he wor coming die, Jesus wash his apostle dem feet, encourage them and give them direction. (John 13:​12-15) Then when he was on the  stake, Jesus use small time to give hope to the criminal that wor near him and he also made arrangement for somebody to take care of his ma. (Luke 23:​42, 43; John 19:​26, 27) Jesus show that he love people by dying for them, and also treating them with love and kindness.

12. Wetin Jesus doing for us now-now?

¹² That true Jesus die “once for all time,” but he still making sacrifices for us. (Rom. 6:10) How? He continue working so that we can benefit from the ransom. See some of the thing dem he doing. He our King, High Priest, and the head of the congregation. (1 Cor. 15:25; Eph. 5:23; Heb. 2:17) He gathering the anointed and the great crowd, and that work will finish before the great tribulation end. a (Matt. 25:32; Mark 13:27) He also making sure that we get plenty spiritual food during this last days. (Matt. 24:45) And during his One Thousand Year Rule, he will continue to work for us. Yes, Jehovah really gave his Son for us!

CONTINUE LEARNING NEW THINGS

13. What some thing dem you can do to help you continue learning about the love that God and Jesus get for us?

¹³ 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. And try your best to tell other people about what you learn.

14. In line with Psalm 119:97 and footnote, how doing research can help us to continue learning about the ransom and other topic dem? (Also see the picture.)

When you read something that you not really understand, do research. Then during the day, think on what you learn and what it tell you about  Jehovah, his Son, and the love they get for you.—Read Psalm 119:97 and footnote.

15. Why we must continue trying to learn new things from the Bible?

¹⁵ Anytime you reading the Bible or doing research and you not find something new or interesting, don’t be discourage. It just like people who trying to find gold. They can be patient and spend plenty hours before they can even find small gold. But they can continue digging because every small gold important to them. So every small thing we learn from the Bible more important than gold! (Ps. 119:127; Prov. 8:10) So be patient and stick to your Bible reading schedule.—Ps. 1:2.

16. How we can follow Jehovah and Jesus example?

¹⁶ 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.
