(Readim John 17:20, 21.) Jehovah ansarem datfala prea bilong Son bilong hem, and distaem staka million pipol bilivim Jehovah nao sendem kam Son bilong hem.

Hem talem Ezekiel for tekem tufala stik, wanfala stik for “Kingdom blong Jiuda” and narawan for “Kingdom blong Israel” and joinim tugeta for kamap wanfala stik nomoa. (Readim Esikiel 37:15-17.)

Hem sei pipol bilong hem bae go bak long Promis Land and olketa bae kamap wanfala nation moa. And tu, datfala profesi showimaot pipol bilong God wea stap long olketa last day bae wan mind for worshipim hem.”

9. Evri year long Memorial, hao nao profesi bilong Ezekiel abaotem wei for wan mind kamap tru?

⁹ Start long year 1919, Jehovah isisi organizem and mekem olketa anointed Christian for wan mind moa. Olketa nao piksarem disfala stik for “Kingdom blong Jiuda.” Then gogo, staka wea joinim olketa anointed garem hope for laef long disfala earth, olketa hia nao disfala stik for “Kingdom blong Israel.” Jehovah promis for joinim tufala stik hia long hand bilong hem for “mekem wanfala stik nomoa.” (Esikiel 37:19) Hem mekem olketa anointed and “olketa nara sheepsheep” for kamap “wanfala sekson” nomoa. (John 10:16; Sekaraea 8:23) Distaem, tufala grup hia gohed for wan mind for worshipim Jehovah. Olketa garem wanfala King, Jesus Christ, wea profesi bilong Ezekiel kolem hem King David, wakaman bilong God. (Esikiel 37:24, 25) Evri year long Memorial, taem iumi hipap for rememberim dae bilong Jesus, iumi savve lukim klia wan mind wea tufala grup hia garem wea Ezekiel profesi abaotem. Bat wanem nao each wan savve duim for gohed keepim wei for wan mind wea pipol bilong God garem?

10. Hao nao iumi savve keepim wei for wan mind wea pipol bilong God garem?

¹⁰ Wanfala wei for pipol bilong God gohed keepim wei for wan mind, hem nao for hambol. Taem Jesus stap long earth, hem talem olketa disaepol for mas hambol. (Matt. 23:12) Pipol long world tingse olketa important winim narawan. Bat sapos iumi hambol, iumi bae respectim olketa brata wea lead long kongregeson. Taem iumi obeyim direction bilong  olketa, kongregeson bae wan mind. Barava important samting nao, sapos iumi hambol, Jehovah bae hapi bikos hem “againstim olketa wea praod tumas, bat hem kaen tumas long olketa wea hambol.”—1 Pet. 5:5.

11. Hao nao wei for ting raonem mining bilong bred and wine savve helpem iumi for keepim wan mind?

¹¹ Mek-tu wei wea iumi savve gohed garem wan mind, hem for ting raonem wanem nao bred and wine long Memorial hem piksarem. Iumi shud duim diswan bifor Memorial, and especially long datfala naet bilong Memorial. (1 Cor. 11:23-25) Datfala bred wea no garem yeast hem piksarem perfect body bilong Jesus wea hem givim olsem sakrifaes. Datfala red wine hem piksarem blood bilong Jesus. Bat hem no inaf for savve nomoa long datwan. Iumi need for tingim hao ransom sakrifaes bilong Jesus showimaot bigfala love wea Jehovah and Jesus garem for iumi wea winim eni nara love. Jehovah givim Son bilong hem for iumi, and Jesus willing for dae for iumi. Taem iumi ting raonem love wea tufala showimaot, datwan bae muvim iumi for lovem tufala. Love wea iumi evriwan garem for Jehovah bae olsem rope wea taengem iumi tugeta and strongim wei wea iumi wan mind.

12. Long story abaotem king and olketa slave bilong hem, hao nao Jesus showimaot klia Jehovah laekem iumi for forgivim narawan?

¹² Mek-thri wei for gohed garem wan mind, hem for willing for forgivim narawan. Taem iumi forgivim narawan iumi showimaot iumi tinghae long wei wea Jehovah forgivim sin bilong iumi bikos long sakrifaes bilong Jesus. Ting raonem tokpiksa bilong Jesus long Matthew 18:23-34. Then askem olketa kwestin hia: ‘Waswe, mi willing for duim wanem Jesus talem? Waswe, mi patient and trae for minim olketa brata and sista? Waswe, mi redi for forgivim olketa wea spoelem mi?’ Hem tru, samfala sin hem serious winim narawan. And samfala sin hem hard tumas for iumi man wea no perfect for forgivim. Bat story bilong Jesus teachim iumi wanem Jehovah laekem iumi for duim. (Readim Matthew 18:35.) Jesus showimaot hao Jehovah bae no forgivim iumi sapos iumi no forgivim narawan taem iumi garem gudfala reason for duim datwan.  Dastawe iumi mas tingting gud abaotem wei wea iumi shud forgivim olketa brata bilong iumi. For protectim and gohed keepim wei for wan mind, iumi need for forgivim narawan olsem Jesus hem talem.

13. Hao nao wei for stap gud witim olketa narawan helpem iumi for wan mind?

¹³ Taem iumi forgivim narawan hem showimaot iumi laek stap gud witim olketa brata and sista. Aposol Paul sei iumi shud waka hard for ‘stap gud tugeta, and traem best for keepim nao wei for wan mind wea holy spirit helpem iumi for garem.’ (Eph. 4:3) Klosap taem bilong Memorial, and especially long datfala naet, tingting gud abaotem hao iu treatim narawan. Tingim, ‘Waswe, wei bilong mi showaot klia hao mi no savve keepim kros? Waswe, pipol luksavve mi trae hard for keepim wan mind and stap gud witim narawan?’ Diswan hem olketa important kwestin for iumi ting raonem.

14. Hao nao iumi savve showimaot iumi ‘patient and lovem narawan’?

¹⁴ Mek-foa wei for keepim wan mind hem nao for followim example bilong Jehovah for showimaot love. (1 John 4:8) Iumi no laek for garem kaen tingting olsem, “Mi lovem olketa brata and sista bilong mi, bat mi no laekem wei bilong olketa.” Sapos iumi garem kaen tingting olsem, hem showaot iumi no followim kaonsel bilong Paul for “mas patient and mas lovem narawan.” (Eph. 4:2) Lukim hao Paul no sei for “mas patient” nomoa, bat hem sei iumi “mas lovem narawan.” For patient witim narawan bikos iumi lovem hem, hem difren from wei for just patient. Insaed kongregeson iumi garem staka difren kaen pipol, and Jehovah leadim each wan long olketa kam long hem. (John 6:44) So Jehovah lukim staka gud reason for lovem olketa. Sapos olsem, waswe long iumi? Iumi shud barava lovem olketa long wei wea Jehovah laekem iumi for duim!—1 John 4:20, 21.

15. Hao nao iumi savve last Memorial bae kamap?

Paul raet long olketa anointed Christian and sei taem olketa rememberim dae bilong Jesus evri year, olketa gohed “talemaot Lord hem dae, go kasem taem hem kam.” (1 Cor. 11:26) Datfala toktok “taem hem kam” hem minim sem samting olsem Jesus talem long profesi abaotem end bilong world. Hem story abaotem bigfala trabol wea bae klosap for kam and hem sei, “Saen bilong Son bilong man bae showaot long skae, and evri tribe long earth bae hitim chest bilong olketa seleva from olketa sorre tumas. Olketa bae lukim Son bilong man hem kam long olketa cloud long skae witim bigfala paoa and glory. Wanfala trumpet bae krae bigfala and [Jesus] bae sendem go olketa angel bilong hem and olketa bae hipimap olketa wea hem chusim from skae and earth.” (Matt. 24:29-31) Disfala wei wea Jesus bae “hipimap olketa wea hem chusim” hem minim bae hem tekem evri anointed Christian wea stap yet long earth for go long heven. Diswan bae happen bihaen bigfala trabol hem start, bat bifor Armageddon. Long datfala war, Jesus witim 144,000 bae faetem olketa king long earth and winim olketa. (Rev. 17:12-14) Memorial wea bae kamap bifor Jesus “kam” for tekem olketa anointed wan for go long heven, hem nao bae last Memorial.
