4 Olketa disaepol hia hem minim evriwan wea followim Jesus. Nomata wanem nao age blo olketa, Jesus sei olketa mas garem wei blo “smol pikinini,” wea minim olketa laekem Jesus for teachim olketa. (Matt. 18:3) So nomata iumi kam from difren ples and garem difren culture, wei and tingting, iumi evriwan showimaot faith lo Christ, and Jesus barava lovem iumi.—John 1:12.

5. Hao nao Jehovah hem feel taem samwan treatim iumi nogud or mekem iumi stambol?

Olketa parents savve feel nogud sapos olketa lukim samwan treatim nogud pikinini. Olsem tu, Jehovah laek for protectim iumi, and hem savve feel nogud sapos hem lukim samwan treatim iumi nogud or mekem eniwan wea worshipim hem for stambol!—Aesaea 63:9.

6. Olsem 1 Corinth 1:26-29 storyim, hao nao pipol lo world ting lo olketa disaepol blo Jesus?

6 Wanem nao nara wei olketa disaepol blo Jesus olsem “smol pikinini”? Pipol lo world interest lo olketa wea rich, garem bignem, or hae position, bat olketa tingse iumi no important, olsem iumi smol pikinini. (Readim 1 Corinth 1:26-29.) Bat Jehovah no garem datkaen tingting abaotem pipol blo hem.

7. Hao nao iumi shud ting lo olketa brata and sista?

7 Jehovah lovem evriwan wea worshipim hem, nomata olketa wea just kam insaed lo truth or olketa wea stap lo truth for staka year finis. Iumi tu shud lovem evri brata and sista lo kongregeson, no samfala nomoa. (1 Pet. 2:17) Iumi laek for tingim and protectim olketa brata and sista blo iumi. Sapos iumi luksavve iumi mekem samwan feel nogud, iumi shud no tingse datwan wari blo hem and act olsem no eni samting hem happen. Maet wanem nao samfala reason olketa brata and sista savve feel nogud lo samting iumi talem or duim? Samfala ting daonem olketa seleva from olketa growap lo famili wea narawan savve tok daonem olketa. And samfala wea niu lo truth no savve hao for deal witim wik point blo olketa lo kongregeson.

Bat sapos hem wei blo iumi for kwiktaem feel nogud lo narawan iumi shud waka hard for changem datwan. Sapos iumi duim olsem, iumi bae hapi and fren gud witim olketa narawan.

TING LO NARAWAN OLSEM HEM WINIM IUMI

8. Hao nao tingting blo olketa Jew affectim tingting blo olketa disaepol blo Jesus?

8 Why nao lo Matthew 18:10 Jesus talem olketa disaepol blo hem for “no les” lo olketa nara disaepol? Bikos olketa showimaot olketa laek for winim narawan taem olketa sei: “Hu nao man wea important winim olketa narawan long Kingdom bilong God?” (Matt. 18:1) Lo datfala taem, olketa Jew barava tinghae lo man wea garem hae position. Wanfala savveman sei: “Olketa laekem tumas for garem hae position and for pipol respectim and mekhae lo olketa.”

9. Wanem nao olketa disaepol blo Jesus mas duim?

9 Jesus savve hem wei blo olketa Jew for laek winim narawan, so olketa disaepol mas waka hard for aotem datkaen tingting. Jesus sei: “Man wea tingse hem bigman long iufala, hem mas olsem lastborn long iufala, and man wea hem leader bilong iufala mas olsem man for helpem iufala.” (Luke 22:26) So Jesus showimaot iumi shud “ting long narawan olsem hem winim [iumi].” (Phil. 2:3) Taem iumi garem datkaen tingting, bae iumi no ting daonem narawan and mekem hem stambol.

10. Wanem kaonsel blo Paul nao hem important for ting raonem?

10 Evri brata and sista gud winim iumi lo samfala samting. Bae iumi luksavve lo datwan taem iumi tingim olketa gudfala wei blo olketa. Hem important for ting raonem disfala kaonsel wea aposol Paul talem for olketa lo Corinth: “Wanem nao mekem iu gud winim narawan? Evri samting wea iu garem, God nao givim long iu. Sapos olsem, hao nao iu tok praod and sei no eniwan givim iu olketa samting hia?” (1 Cor. 4:7) So iumi shud no laekem pipol for mekhae lo iumi or tingse iumi gud winim narawan. Olsem example, sapos brata savve tumas for givim naes tok or sista savve tumas for startim olketa Bible study, olketa shud mekhae lo Jehovah.

“BARAVA FORGIVIM” NARAWAN

11. Wanem nao iumi lanem from tokpiksa blo Jesus abaotem king and wakaman blo hem?

11 Bihaen Jesus talem olketa disaepol for no les lo olketa narawan, hem storyim tokpiksa abaotem king and wakaman blo hem.

Bihaen datwan, king putim wakaman wea no showimaot mercy lo prison. Wanem nao iumi lanem from datfala tokpiksa?

First samting, mek-tu wakaman safa bikos first wakaman “talem olketa for putim hem long prison go kasem taem hem changem bak kaon bilong hem.” Mek-tu samting, “taem olketa nara wakaman lukim diswan, olketa barava feel nogud.” Samting wea iumi duim tu savve affectim olketa narawan. Taem samwan treatim iumi nogud, wanem nao savve happen sapos iumi no forgivim hem? First samting, maet hem sorre from iumi no kaen and les for story lo hem. Mek-tu samting, from olketa brata and sista lukim iumi les lo hem, bae olketa feel nogud.

Waswe, bae iu gohed feel nogud lo narawan, or forgivim hem? (Lukim paragraf 13-14) *

13. Wanem nao iumi lanem from example blo wanfala pioneer?

13 Taem iumi forgivim olketa brata and sista bae olketa and iumi tu savve kasem gud samting. Tingim example blo pioneer sista wea nem blo hem Crystal. Hem wiki lo nara sista lo kongregeson. Crystal sei: “Toktok blo sista hia savve mekem mi barava feel nogud. Mi no laek for waka witim hem lo preaching waka, and gogo mi no enjoyim ministry.” Nomata Crystal garem gudfala reason for feel nogud, hem no laek for kros lo sista hia.

(1 John 4:11) Mek-tu samting, tingim gud samting wea bae kamaot from iumi forgivim narawan. Bae man wea iumi forgivim no wikdaon, bae kongregeson stap gud tugeta, bae iumi gohed fren gud witim Jehovah, and iumi tu bae hapi.

(Eph. 4:26, 27) Iumi needim Jehovah for helpem iumi for forgivim narawan.
