JW Animated DAILY TEXT Saturday December 23. 2017

Like apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time.—Prov. 25:11.
Since cultures and religious beliefs vary greatly, we need to be discerning when it comes to choosing the right time to speak. And there are many occasions when we may need to discern that. For example, someone may offend us, even with well-intentioned words. It would be prudent on our part to take time to reflect on whether the matter is serious enough to say something. If we must speak, it would not be wise to approach the offender when we are upset and perhaps might speak a bit rashly. (Prov. 15:28) Similarly, we need to be discerning when speaking about the truth to our unbelieving relatives. We want them to come to know Jehovah, but we must be patient and perceptive. Speaking the right words at the right time may help to open their hearts. w15 12/15 3:6, 8, 9

Clothe yourselves with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, mildness, and patience. . . . Clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union.—Col. 3:12, 14.
Genuine love and unity identify Jehovah’s servants as the ones who practice the true religion, for Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:34, 35) And the apostle John wrote: “The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Whoever does not practice righteousness does not originate with God, nor does the one who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” (1 John 3:10, 11) Love that results in extraordinary unity marks Jehovah’s Witnesses as Christ’s true followers, the ones whom God is using to serve his purpose to have the good news of the Kingdom preached in all the inhabited earth.—Matt. 24:14. w15 11/15 4:10, 11

Peter took [Jesus] aside and began to rebuke him, saying: “Be kind to yourself, Lord; you will not have this happen to you at all.”—Matt. 16:22.
The apostle Peter meant well when he urged Jesus to be kind to himself in order not to be killed. Jesus, however, knew that PeterÂ’s comment reflected faulty thinking. To help him and the other disciples, Jesus gave frank counsel, stated the consequences of a self-sparing attitude, and outlined the blessings of a self-sacrificing spirit. (Matt. 16:21-27) Peter learned the lesson. (1 Pet. 2:20, 21) Pray to Jehovah to give you insight so that you can understand where your teenager needs help. (Ps. 32:8) For example, what might indicate that your childÂ’s faith is wavering? Perhaps his joy is waning, he is speaking critically of fellow believers, or he has become secretive. Do not hastily conclude that these are signs of a double life involving serious sin. On the other hand, do not ignore such signs or dismiss your teenagerÂ’s isolation as a mere phase. w15 11/15 2:12, 13

Jehovah’s Witnesses Resume - Their Public Preaching in Turku, Finland....
HELSINKI—Just days following the deadly terrorist attack in Turku, Finland, on August 18, 2017, city officials welcomed Jehovah’s Witnesses back to the market square to continue their public ministry efforts.
“The Witnesses are a permanent fixture in the square and a fundamental part of the cityscape,” stated Mr. Teemu Rissanen, who oversees the market square in Turku. “In the past, when the Witnesses have been absent, residents have become concerned and have asked, ‘Where are they?’ The Witnesses have a kind and positive attitude, and it fits in well with the atmosphere at the square.”
Veikko Leinonen, a spokesman at the branch office in Finland states: “We have appreciated the kind response of city officials and the warm concern expressed to us by the residents of Turku. Officials have even allowed us provisional use of a booth that provides additional security and shelter. We are happy to continue sharing the Bible’s comforting message with our neighbors in Turku.”

*** it-2 p. 385 Messenger ***
“Messenger of the Covenant.” In fulfillment of Malachi 3:1, John the Baptizer appeared as the messenger who prepared the way before Jehovah by getting the Jews ready for the coming of God’s chief representative, Jesus Christ.—Mt 11:10, 11; Mr 1:1-4; Lu 7:27, 28.
 
As the foretold “messenger of the covenant,” Jesus Christ came to the temple and cleansed it. (Mt 21:12, 13; Mr 11:15-17; Lu 19:45, 46)
He evidently was the messenger of the Abrahamic covenant, for it was on the basis of this covenant that the Jews were the first ones to be granted the opportunity to become Kingdom heirs. This was the covenant to which Peter appealed when calling upon the Jews to repent. It is also noteworthy that John the Baptizer’s father, Zechariah, referred to the Abrahamic covenant in connection with Jehovah’s raising up ‘a horn of salvation in the house of David,’ this horn being the Messiah.—Compare Mt 10:5-7; 15:24; 21:31; Lu 1:69- 75; Ac 3:12, 19-26.
-----------------------------
I also remember the antitypical "messenger" Charles Taze Russell who opened up the way by preparing the slave class for the work ahead.
I will need to look up some older references. I think I remember something about Elijah and Elisha as well but memory is failing me at the moment.
