Pasemos adelante a la madurez (Heb. 6:1).
Para progresar hacia la madurez, debemos hacer todo lo posible por obedecer a Jehová. Ahora bien, la obediencia a menudo se aprende a base de sufrimiento, como se puede ver en el caso de Jesús (Heb. 5:8, 9). En el cielo, Jesús obedecía a su Padre en todo. Sin embargo, cuando vino a la Tierra, no le fue fácil hacer la voluntad divina; le costó mucho sufrimiento físico y emocional. Su obediencia en medio de las peores adversidades lo perfeccionó para el cargo que Dios tenía preparado para él: ser Rey y Sumo Sacerdote. ¿Y qué puede decirse de nosotros? ¿Estamos decididos a obedecer a Jehová aunque pasemos por graves dificultades? (1 Ped. 1:6, 7.) Los consejos divinos son muy claros, sea que estén relacionados con la moralidad, la honestidad, la manera de expresarnos, la lectura y el estudio de la Biblia, la asistencia a las reuniones o la predicación (Jos. 1:8; Mat. 28:19, 20; Efe. 4:25, 28, 29; 5:3-5; Heb. 10:24, 25). Nuestra obediencia a pesar de las adversidades demuestra que estamos progresando hacia la madurez.

Let us press on to maturity.—Heb. 6:1.
Pressing on to maturity requires that we do our utmost to obey Jehovah. As exemplified by Jesus Christ, obedience is often learned from the things suffered. (Heb. 5:8, 9) Before coming to earth, Jesus was obedient to his Father. However, doing his Father’s will on earth involved physical and mental suffering. Through obedience under extreme adversity, Jesus was “made perfect” for the new position God had in mind for him, that of being King and High Priest. What about us? Are we determined to obey Jehovah even when we are faced with distressful problems? (1 Pet. 1:6, 7) God’s counsel regarding morals, honesty, proper use of the tongue, personal reading and study of the Scriptures, attendance at Christian meetings, and participation in the preaching work is clear. (Josh. 1:8; Matt. 28:19, 20; Eph. 4:25, 28, 29; 5:3-5; Heb. 10:24, 25) Our obedience, even under adversity, is an indication that we have progressed toward maturity.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
