I do not know you.—Matt. 25:12. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/18 In the parable of the ten virgins, was Jesus saying that many of his anointed servants would prove unfaithful and need to be replaced? (Matt. 25:1-13) No. Remember, he had just warned his “faithful and discreet slave” never to turn into an evil slave. (Matt. 24:45-51) That did not mean that he expected such an outcome. Similarly, this parable conveys a powerful warning. Just as five virgins were foolish and five were discreet, each anointed one has the full capacity to choose either a course of preparedness and vigilance or a course of folly and unfaithfulness. The apostle Paul was inspired to make a similar point when addressing his anointed fellow Christians. (Heb. 6:4-9; compare Deuteronomy 30:19.) Note that Paul’s warning was very firm, but he followed it up with a loving expression of his confidence that “better things” lay ahead of his Christian brothers and sisters. Christ knows that each of his anointed servants can remain faithful and receive the thrilling reward! w15 3/15 2:13

Queen Esther replied to TrueTomHarley's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics

Sé animoso, y sea fuerte tu corazón. Sí, espera en Jehová (Sal. 27:14). http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/11/17 ¿Qué nos ayudará a ser valientes? Confiar en Dios y seguir los pasos de su Hijo (Sal. 28:7). Durante su ministerio, Jesús demostró de muchas maneras que era valiente. Por ejemplo, dijo sin miedo que los líderes religiosos engañaban a la gente con doctrinas falsas (Mat. 23:13-36). No permitió que las cosas malas del mundo lo corrompieran (Juan 16:33). Nunca dejó de predicar, a pesar de que sus enemigos trataron de detenerlo (Juan 5:15-18; 7:14). Y, en dos ocasiones, echó del templo a quienes mostraban falta de respeto por la adoración a Jehová (Mat. 21:12, 13; Juan 2:14-17). Después, cuando los soldados fueron a arrestarlo en el jardín de Getsemaní, Jesús se identificó sin dudarlo. Y aunque sabía que su vida estaba en peligro, protegió a sus discípulos (Juan 18:1-8). Ante el Sanedrín, no tuvo miedo de afirmar que él era el Cristo y el Hijo de Dios, a pesar de que sabía que el sumo sacerdote estaba buscando excusas para matarlo (Mar. 14:60-65). w15 15/2 2:3, 5, 6

Be courageous and strong of heart. Yes, hope in Jehovah.—Ps. 27:14. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/11/17 We get courage by trusting in God and following the steps of his Son. (Ps. 28:7) During his ministry, Jesus showed courage in various ways. He boldly exposed the religious leaders for misleading the people with false teachings. (Matt. 23:13-36) He stood firm against the world’s contaminating influence. (John 16:33) He continued to preach despite pressure from opposers. (John 5:15-18; 7:14) Twice, he fearlessly cleansed the temple, driving out those who were defiling the worship there. (Matt. 21:12, 13; John 2:14-17) In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus fearlessly identified himself to the soldiers who came to arrest him. Although his own life was in danger, he spoke up to protect his disciples. (John 18:1-8) When questioned before the Sanhedrin, he boldly affirmed that he was both the Christ and the Son of God, even though he knew that the high priest was looking for an excuse to have him killed.—Mark 14:60-65. w15 2/15 2:3, 5, 6

A LITTLE HUMOR..... Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery shop. As soon as they enter the bakery, Trump steals three pastries and puts them in his pocket. He says to Hillary: “See how clever I am? The owner didn’t even see anything, and I don’t even need to lie. I will definitely win the election.” Hillary says to Donald: “That’s the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same 3 pastries without stealing or lying, and also prove that I am much clever than you!” Hillary goes to the owner of the bakery and says: “Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick?” Intrigued, the owner accepts Hillary’s offer and gives her a pastry. Hillary swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives her another one. Then Hillary asks for a third pastry and eats that, too. By this time, the owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks: “What did you do with the pastries?” Hillary replies: “Look in Donald’s pocket !” ;-)
