Let us examine the scriptures every day 2025
Tuesday April 8, 2025
Continue to do this in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19).
For Jehovah's servants, the Memorial of Christ's death is the most important day of the year. It is the only ceremony that Jesus commanded to be celebrated (Luke 22:19, 20). It reminds us of some of the ways we can show our appreciation for Jesus' sacrifice (2 Cor. 5:14, 15). It also allows us to be with our brothers and encourage one another (Rom. 1:12). Furthermore, many people are impressed by what they see and hear, and decide to start studying the Bible. We also look forward to that day because it is an opportunity to see the unity that exists in Jehovah's people. Without a doubt, all of this makes the Memorial a very special occasion for us. w24.01 8 paras. 1-3.
What are some reasons we are looking forward to the Memorial?
The Memorial helps us meditate on the value of rescue. It reminds us of some of the ways we can show our appreciation for Jesus' sacrifice (2 Cor. 5:14, 15). It also allows us to be with our brothers and encourage one another (Rom. 1:12). Every year, many inactive people attend the Memorial, and some of them are encouraged to return to Jehovah because of the love shown to them by the brothers there. Furthermore, many people are impressed by what they see and hear, and decide to start studying the Bible. Without a doubt, all of this makes the Memorial a very special occasion for us.
How does the Memorial allow us to see the unity that exists among Jehovah's people? (See also the image).
We also look forward to that day because it is an opportunity to see the unity that exists in Jehovah's people. All over the world, Jehovah's Witnesses gather as the sun sets in each location. We all listen to a speech highlighting the importance of the rescue, sing two songs, pass the bread and wine, and heartily say “amen” to four prayers. In a matter of about 24 hours, all congregations will have done the same. Can we imagine how happy Jehovah and Jesus must feel to see us honoring them around the entire planet?
What will we see in this article?
In this article we will answer the following questions: how can we prepare our hearts for the Memorial? How can we help others benefit from it? And how can we help the inactive? Analyzing these ideas will allow us to be ready for that important occasion.
Why should we meditate on the value of the ransom? (Psalm 49:7, 8).
One of the most important ways to prepare our hearts for the Memorial is by meditating on the value of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We alone could never have freed ourselves from sin and death (read Psalm 49:7, 8; see also the video Why Did Jesus Die?).a So Jehovah decided that his dear Son would give his life for us, and they both paid a very high price (Rom. 6:23). The more we meditate on what Jehovah and Jesus sacrificed for us, the more we will value the ransom. Next, let's look at some of the things that Jehovah and Jesus were willing to do for us. But first, let's talk about what the rescue entailed.
