Continue to encourage one another and build one another up (1 Thes. 5:11).

Inactives attending the Memorial may have been concerned about how they would be received by the brothers. Therefore, let's not ask them questions that make them uncomfortable or say anything that might make them feel bad. They remain our dear brothers, and we are glad to return to worshiping Jehovah with them (Ps. 119:176; Acts 20:35). We are not surprised that Jesus commanded us to commemorate his death every year. Doing so benefits us and others in many ways (Isa. 48:17, 18). It helps us love Jehovah and Jesus more. It gives us the opportunity to show how grateful we are for what they have done for us. It brings us closer to our brothers and allows us to help others know what they need to do to enjoy the blessings that the rescue makes possible. Therefore, let us strive to be ready for the Memorial, the most important day of the year. w24.01 14 paras. 18, 19.

How can the elderly help the inactive? (Ezekiel 34:12, 16).

How can elders help the inactive during the Memorial season? Showing them interest and affection (read Ezekiel 34:12, 16). Elders, before the Memorial, contact as many as possible. Tell them that you care about them and want to do everything you can to help them. Invite them to the Memorial and, if they attend, receive them with love. After the Memorial, keep in touch with these dear brothers and give them the spiritual help they need to return to Jehovah (1 Pet. 2:25).

How can we all help the inactive? (Romans 12:10).

All the brothers in the congregation can help the inactive ones who attend the Memorial. How? Treating them with love, kindness, and respect (read Romans 12:10). Let us remember that those dear sheep of Jehovah may have found it difficult to return to a meeting. They may have been worried about how the brothers would receive them. Therefore, let's not ask them questions that make them uncomfortable or say anything that might make them feel bad (1 Thes. 5:11). They remain our dear brothers, and we are glad to return to worshiping Jehovah with them (Ps. 119:176; Acts 20:35).

What are the benefits of commemorating the death of Jesus?

In view of everything we have analyzed, it is not surprising that Jesus commanded us to commemorate his death every year. Doing so benefits us and others in many ways (Isa. 48:17, 18). It helps us love Jehovah and Jesus more. It gives us the opportunity to show how grateful we are for what they have done for us. It brings us closer to our brothers and allows us to help others know what they need to do to enjoy the blessings that the rescue makes possible. Therefore, let us strive to be ready for the Memorial, the most important day of the year.
