Sábado 2 de julio
Él siguió adhiriéndose a Jehová (2 Rey. 18:6).
Ezequías y los habitantes de Jerusalén invitaron a toda la nación —incluso a los que vivían en el reino del norte— a presenciar la celebración de la Pascua, y un grupo de mensajeros recorrió el país repartiendo las cartas de invitación (2 Cró. 30:6-9). Nosotros llevamos ya algunos años haciendo una labor parecida. Hemos repartido llamativas invitaciones a nuestros vecinos para que celebren con nosotros la Cena del Señor en obediencia al mandato de Jesús (Luc. 22:19, 20). Y lo hemos hecho con entusiasmo. ¿Ha bendecido Jehová este trabajo? ¡Claro que sí! La campaña que realizaron durante 2008 los siete millones de publicadores de todo el mundo contribuyó a que la asistencia ascendiera a 17.790.631 personas. La Biblia dice sobre Ezequías: “En Jehová el Dios de Israel confió él” (2 Rey. 18:5). Esforcémonos por imitar a este rey. Nuestro celo por la casa de Dios nos ayudará a seguir “adhiriéndo[nos] a Jehová” y a no perder de vista el premio de la vida eterna (Deu. 30:16).
Saturday, July 2
He kept sticking to Jehovah.—2 Ki. 18:6.
Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem invited the whole nation—even those of the northern kingdom—to attend the Passover celebration. Runners sped through the land carrying letters of invitation. (2 Chron. 30:6-9) In recent years, we have shared in a similar effort. We have used appealing printed invitations to invite people in our territories to gather with us in commemorating the Lord’s Evening Meal, in obedience to Jesus’ command. (Luke 22:19, 20) We have zealously shared in this work. And how Jehovah has blessed this effort! Why, in 2008, some seven million of us distributed invitations, and a total of 17,790,631 people attended! It was said of Hezekiah: “In Jehovah the God of Israel he trusted.” (2 Ki. 18:5) May it be similar in our case. Our zeal for God’s house will help us ‘keep sticking to Jehovah’ with the prospect of everlasting life in view.—Deut. 30:16.
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.”
