Your throne will be firmly established forever.—2 Sam. 7:16.
Jehovah made this covenant with David during David’s reign in Jerusalem, promising him that the Messiah would be his descendant. (Luke 1:30-33) Thus, Jehovah further narrowed the line of descent of the offspring of the woman and established that an heir of David would have “the legal right” to the throne of the Messianic Kingdom. (Ezek. 21:25-27) Through Jesus, David’s kingship “will be firmly established forever.” (Ps. 89:34-37) Yes, the Messiah’s rule will never become corrupt, and its accomplishments will last forever! While the Davidic covenant makes it certain that the offspring would have a kingly function, that role alone would not suffice to bring blessings to people of all nations. (Gen. 3:15) For them to be truly blessed, they would have to be freed from their sinful state and brought into Jehovah’s universal family. To accomplish this requires that the offspring also serve in a priestly capacity. w14 10/15 1:14, 15
 

A  very  heart-touching  true  story ❤
A son took his father to a restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner. His father was of advanced age, and therefore, a little weak, too. While he was eating, a little bit of food fell from time to time on his shirt and his trousers. The other diners watched the older man with their faces distorted in disgust, but his son remained totally calm.
Once both were done eating, the son, without being remotely ashamed, helped his father by taking him to the restroom. He cleaned up the leftovers from his wrinkled face, and tried to wash the stains of food from his clothes. He lovingly combed his hair gray and I finally got his glasses cleaned. On the way out of the restroom, a profound silence reigned in the restaurant. The son was going to pay the bill and get ready to escort his father out of the restaurant. Just then a man rose from his chair among the diners, and asked the son " don't you think that you've left something here? "The young man replied, "No, I haven't missed anything". Then the stranger said to him, " Yes you've left something! You left here a lesson for each child, and hope for every parent!" The entire restaurant was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
One of the biggest honors that exists, is the ability to take care of those older adults who cared for us. Our parents, and all those elderly who sacrificed their lives, with time, money, effort and unconditional love. They deserve our utmost respect. If you also feel respect for older adults, share this story with all your friends.

I didn't hide this... although I will move it to the USA category. 

"Keep on the watch."—Matt. 25:13.
“Keep on the watch, therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour."

El más famoso sermón que se ha pronunciado.
LA ESCENA es una de las más memorables de la historia bíblica:
Jesús sentado en la ladera de una montaña, pronunciando su famoso Sermón del Monte. El lugar está al lado del mar de Galilea, probablemente cerca de Capernaum. Después de haber pasado toda la noche en oración, Jesús acaba de escoger a 12 de sus discípulos para que sean apóstoles. Entonces, con todos ellos, baja a esta parte llana de la montaña.
Uno pensaría que para entonces Jesús estaría muy cansado y desearía dormir un poco. Pero han venido grandes muchedumbres, y algunas personas han venido desde Judea y Jerusalén, a una distancia de 100 a 110 kilómetros (de 60 a 70 millas). Otras han venido desde la costa de Tiro y Sidón, situada al norte. Han venido a escuchar a Jesús y a ser sanadas de sus enfermedades. Hay hasta personas a quienes perturban los demonios, los ángeles inicuos de Satanás.
Mientras Jesús baja, los enfermos se acercan para tocarlo, y él los sana a todos. Parece que más tarde Jesús sube a un lugar más alto en la montaña. Allí se sienta y empieza a enseñar a las muchedumbres dispersadas en la parte llana ante él. Y piense en esto: ¡ahora no hay en todo el auditorio ni siquiera una sola persona que esté sufriendo de una enfermedad grave!
La gente está deseosa de oír al maestro que puede efectuar estos asombrosos milagros. Sin embargo, Jesús pronuncia su sermón principalmente para beneficio de sus discípulos, que probablemente están a su alrededor, más cerca que otras personas. Pero, para que nosotros podamos beneficiarnos también, tanto Mateo como Lucas lo han puesto por escrito.
El relato que da Mateo del sermón es unas cuatro veces más largo que el de Lucas. Además, Lucas presenta porciones de lo registrado por Mateo como palabras que Jesús dijo en otras ocasiones durante su ministerio, como se puede notar por una comparación de Mateo 6:9-13 con Lucas 11:1-4, y de Mateo 6:25-34 con Lucas 12:22-31. Pero esto no debería sorprendernos. Jesús obviamente enseñó las mismas cosas más de una vez, y Lucas optó por registrar algunas de estas enseñanzas en un marco de circunstancias diferente.
La profundidad del contenido espiritual del sermón de Jesús no es lo único que lo hace tan valioso, sino también la sencillez y claridad con que presenta estas verdades. Él ilustra lo que dice con experiencias comunes y se vale de cosas con que la gente está familiarizada, lo que permite que sus ideas sean fácilmente entendidas por todos los que buscan una vida mejor a la manera de Dios.
¿Quiénes son verdaderamente felices?
Todo el mundo desea ser feliz. Porque reconoce esto, Jesús empieza su Sermón del Monte describiendo a los que en verdad son felices. Como podemos imaginarnos, esto en seguida capta la atención de su numeroso auditorio. Sin embargo, sus palabras de apertura deben parecer contradictorias a muchos.
Dirigiendo sus comentarios a sus discípulos, Jesús empieza así: “Felices son ustedes, los pobres, porque de ustedes es el reino de Dios. Felices son ustedes los que tienen hambre ahora, porque serán saciados. Felices son ustedes los que lloran ahora, porque reirán. Felices son ustedes cuando los hombres los odien [...] Regocíjense en aquel día y salten, porque, ¡miren!, su galardón es grande en el cielo”.
Este es el relato que da Lucas de la introducción del sermón de Jesús. Pero según el registro de Mateo, Jesús también dice que los de genio apacible, los misericordiosos, los de corazón puro y los pacíficos son felices. Jesús indica que estos son felices porque heredarán la Tierra, recibirán misericordia, verán a Dios y serán llamados hijos de Dios.
Sin embargo, lo que Jesús quiere decir por ser felices no es simplemente el ser jovial o estar alegre, como cuando uno se está divirtiendo. La felicidad verdadera es más profunda, lleva la idea de contentamiento, un sentido de satisfacción y logro en la vida.
Así Jesús muestra que las personas que en verdad son felices reconocen su necesidad espiritual, se lamentan por su condición pecaminosa y llegan a conocer y servir a Dios. Entonces, aunque las odien o las persigan por hacer la voluntad de Dios, son felices porque saben que están agradando a Dios y que recibirán el galardón de la vida eterna que proviene de él.
No obstante, lo mismo que algunas personas hoy, muchos de los que escuchan a Jesús creen que lo que hace feliz a uno es ser próspero y disfrutar de placeres. Jesús sabe que no es así. Estableciendo un contraste que debe sorprender a muchos de sus oyentes, dice:
“¡Ay de ustedes los ricos, porque ya disfrutan de su consolación completa! ¡Ay de ustedes los que están saciados ahora, porque padecerán hambre! ¡Ay, ustedes que ríen ahora, porque se lamentarán y llorarán! ¡Ay, cuando todos los hombres hablen bien de ustedes, porque cosas como estas son las que los antepasados de ellos hicieron a los falsos profetas!”.
¿Qué quiere decir Jesús con esto? ¿Por qué es un ay tener riquezas, procurar placeres y disfrutar del aplauso de los hombres? Esto se debe a que cuando alguien tiene estas cosas y las ama, entonces excluye de su vida el servicio a Dios, que es lo único que trae verdadera felicidad. A la misma vez, Jesús no quería decir que por simplemente ser pobre, tener hambre y estar triste uno es feliz. Con todo, a menudo sucede que las personas que tienen esas desventajas responden a las enseñanzas de Jesús, de modo que son bendecidas con verdadera felicidad.
A continuación, dirigiéndose a sus discípulos Jesús dice: “Ustedes son la sal de la tierra”. Por supuesto, no quiere decir que ellos sean literalmente sal. Pero la sal sirve para conservar. Había un montón de sal cerca del altar del templo de Jehová, y los sacerdotes que oficiaban allí la usaban para salar las ofrendas.
Los discípulos de Jesús son “la sal de la tierra” porque ejercen en la gente una influencia que conserva. Sí, ¡el mensaje que llevan conserva la vida de todo el que responde a él! Produce en la vida de esas personas las cualidades de permanencia, lealtad y fidelidad, las cuales evitan en ellas decadencia espiritual y moral.
“Ustedes son la luz del mundo”, dice Jesús a sus discípulos. Una lámpara no se pone debajo de una cesta, sino sobre el candelero, y Jesús dice: “Así mismo resplandezca la luz de ustedes delante de los hombres”. Los discípulos de Jesús hacen esto por participar en la testificación pública y por resplandecer como ejemplos de conducta que se conforma a los principios bíblicos.

Dein Thron wird bis auf unabsehbare Zeit gefestigt werden (2. Sam. 7:16)
Jehova schloss den Bund mit David während dessen Regierungszeit in Jerusalem. Er versprach David, dass der Messias von ihm abstammen wird (Luk. 1:30-33). So schränkte Jehova die Zahl der möglichen Vorfahren des Nachkommen der Frau noch mehr ein und legte fest: Ein Erbe Davids soll „das gesetzliche Recht“ auf den Thron des messianischen Königreiches haben (Hes. 21:25-27). Durch Jesus würde Davids Königsherrschaft „auf unabsehbare Zeit festen Bestand haben“ (Ps. 89:34-37). Die Herrschaft des Messias wird also nie korrupt sein; was sie bewirkt, hat ewig Bestand! Der Bund mit David stellte zwar sicher, dass der Nachkomme der Frau als König amtieren würde (1. Mo. 3:15). Doch das allein würde nicht reichen, damit Menschen aus allen Nationen gesegnet werden. Damit sie wirklich gesegnet sind, müssen sie von ihrem sündigen Zustand befreit und in Jehovas große Familie aufgenommen werden. Dazu muss der Nachkomme der Frau als Priester wirken. w14 15. 10. 1:14, 15

My daughter got baptized today at our 2016 “Remain Loyal to Jehovah!” regional convention. I’d like to say that, as a single parent of 5, raising children can be most challenging…especially in the truth. However, Jehovah has always been there with us every step of the way as we keep the Kingdom first and focus on remaining loyal to Him…He has always been loyal and true and I can’t think of a day where we needed something and He did not provide. This young lady has had the goal of being baptized and regular pioneering since she was 9! Today she reach the goal of baptism. My heart rejoices to see how good Jehovah is. My hope is that all parents out there, single or married, will trust Jehovah with their whole heart and see His hand in their family…even when things get tough with the kids, as they will at times. In the end, with Jehovah by our side, we can say that it was all worth it. I am blessed and I hope this will encourage my brothers and sisters worldwide! Photo shared by @jahismygod

*** w1955 7/1 411    Christian Baptism for the New World Society *** 
15 A Christian, therefore, cannot be baptized in the name of the one actually doing the immersing or in the name of any man, nor in the name of any organization, but in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit. This shows, among other things, that Christianity is not a denominational affair, that sects have nothing to do with it. “Does the Christ exist divided? Paul was not impaled for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I am thankful I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.”—1 Cor. 1:13-15, NW. 
*** w1966 10/1 603-4  Serving with Everlasting Life in View *** 
15 This is what we mean when we dedicate our lives to Jehovah. We do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization. No, we dedicate ourselves to the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe, our Creator, Jehovah God himself. This makes dedication a very personal relationship between us and Jehovah. 
--------------------------------------
*** w1958 8/1 478  Baptism *** 
22 It is essential that with the mouth a public declaration of faith be made. Two 
questions are therefore asked the candidates: (1) Have you recognized yourself before Jehovah God as a sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the Father, through his Son Jesus Christ? (2) On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for salvation have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to God to do his will henceforth as he reveals it to you through Jesus Christ and through the Bible under the enlightening power of the holy spirit? 23 Everyone who can answer “Yes” to these questions is eligible for baptism and should take this step without hesitation or delay. 
*** w1960 5/15 308  "What Prevents Me from Getting Baptized?" *** 
23 The first question is: Have you recognized yourself before Jehovah God as a sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the Father, through his Son Jesus Christ? 
24 The second question is: On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for salvation have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to God to do his will henceforth as he reveals it to you through Jesus Christ and through the Bible under the enlightening power of the holy spirit? 
25 Everyone who has answered “Yes” to these two questions is eligible for baptism and should be baptized at that same circuit or district assembly of Jehovah’s witnesses. 
*** w1973 5/1 280  Baptizing Follows Discipling *** 
we suggest that you consider the following two questions, which are asked of 
candidates for baptism: 
(1) Have you repented of your sins and turned around, recognizing yourself before Jehovah God as a condemned sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the Father, through his SonJesus Christ? 
(2) On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for salvation, have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to God to do his will henceforth as he reveals it to you through Jesus Christ and through the Bible under the enlightening power of the holy spirit? 
If you find that you can answer “YES” to these questions, then it would be appropriate for you to speak to the presiding overseer in the congregation of Jehovah’s witnesses with which you associate, with a view to getting baptized. 
------------------------------------
*** w1985 6/1 30     Subjecting Ourselves to Jehovah by Dedication *** 
The first question is: 
On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will? 
The second is: 
Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization? 
Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism. 
*** w1987 4/15 12  Gaining Peace With God Through Dedication and Baptism *** 
By baptism you identify yourself as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s worldwide congregation.
*** w87 4/15 12  Gaining Peace With God Through Dedication and Baptism *** 
Recently the two questions addressed to baptismal candidates were simplified so that candidates could answer with full comprehension of what is involved in coming into intimate relationship with God and his earthly organization.
*** w1989 1/15 13  What Prevents You From Getting Baptized? *** 
for the first of two questions the speaker asks them is: “On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?” Only if the individual answers in the affirmative and also understands that his dedication and baptism identify him as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization can he acceptably undergo water immersion. 
*** knowledge 176  18 Make It Your Aim to Serve God Forever *** 
 Baptism ‘in the name of the holy spirit’ signifies that the baptismal candidate 
recognizes Jehovah’s holy spirit, or active force, as God’s instrument for carrying out His purposes and for empowering His servants to do His righteous will in association with His spirit-directed organization.

@leahhercjandres shares with us: “My husband is the only witness in his family and they were very opposed when he got baptized 19 years ago. Whenever we visit; we try to tactfully engage them in Bible discussions and continue to explain why we moved to Alaska to serve where the need is great.
Slowly they are softening and his 87 year old grandmother watched the  "Why study the bible?” video and is coming with us to the meeting tonight !“  WOW ❤
May Jehovah  bless  her,  yes !
 

Whatever  you  are  doing,  work  at  it  whole - souled  as  for  JEHOVAH,  and  not  for  men !
Colossians  3 : 23
JUST  BAPTIZED....  MAY  JEHOVAH  BLESS  YOU  OUR  SISTER ❤
