has been given me
in heaven

the Father

honor and glory

when words such as these were conveyed to him
by the magnificent glory:

“This is my Son, my beloved,
whom I myself
have approved.””
2 Pet. 1:17.

***

“God exalted him to a superior position
and kindly gave him the name

that is above every other name,

so that in the name of Jesus
every knee should bend—

of those in heaven
and those on earth
and those under the ground—

and every tongue should openly acknowledge
that
Jesus Christ is Lord
to the glory of
God the Father.”
Phil. 2:9-11.

“All the people
would come to him
early in the morning
to hear him
in the temple.”
Luke 21:38.

“And the large crowd was listening to him
with pleasure.”
Mark 12:37.

“He continued teaching daily in the temple.

But the chief priests
and the scribes
and the principal ones of the people

were seeking to kill him;

but they did not find any way to do this,
for the people
one and all

kept hanging on to him
to hear him.
Luke 19:47, 48.

***

“There is no salvation
in anyone else,

for there is no other name
under heaven

that has been given
among men

by which we must get saved.””
Acts 4:12.

“For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,

a man,
Christ Jesus,

who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—

this is what is to be witnessed to
in its own due time.”
1 Tim. 2:5, 6.

Yes:
“By means of him
we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one,
yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses,

according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.”
1 Pet. 1:7.

Peter,
to Christ’s co-rulers
stated

to us even today
reiterated:

“He ordered us to preach to the people
and to give a thorough witness

that this is the one decreed by God
to be judge of the living and the dead.

To him all the prophets bear witness,

that everyone putting faith in him

receives forgiveness of sins
through his name.””
Acts 10:42, 43.

***

During his life on earth,

Christ offered up supplications and also petitions,
with strong outcries and tears,

to the One who was able to save him out of death,

and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.

Although he was a son,

he learned obedience
from the things he suffered.

And after he had been made perfect,

he became responsible for everlasting salvation
to all those obeying him”.
Heb. 5:7-9.

***

“And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor
and each one his brother,
saying,

‘Know Jehovah!’

for they will all know me,

from the least to the greatest of them,”
declares Jehovah.

“For I will forgive their error,
and I will no longer remember their sin.””
Jer. 31:34.

Nicodemus . . . came to him in the night.​—John 3:1, 2.

Jesus worked hard in the ministry. He showed his love for people by continuing to teach them at every opportunity. (Luke 19:47, 48) What moved him to do so? Jesus felt compassion for them. At times, so many wanted to hear Jesus’ words that he and his disciples “were not able even to eat a meal.” (Mark 3:20) He also made himself available at night​—a time that was more convenient for one of his listeners. The majority of those who initially listened to Jesus did not become his disciples. But all who heard him received a thorough witness. Today we want to give everyone the opportunity to hear the good news. (Acts 10:42) To accomplish this, we may need to adjust our approach to the ministry. Rather than stick to a schedule that is convenient for us, we should be willing to adjust our schedule to preach when we are more likely to meet people. If we do, we can be sure that Jehovah will be pleased. w22.01 17 ¶13-14
