Introduction to section 13

In this section, we will analyze how Jesus, when he came to earth, demonstrated humility by serving others, forgiving them when they made mistakes, and giving his life for imperfect people. Because of his faithfulness, Jehovah was loyal to his Son and brought him back to life. After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples and prepared them to continue the important work he had entrusted to them. Today, we too have the privilege of sharing in that same work, and we should deeply appreciate it.
