“CONTINUE FOLLOWING ME” 187
13 Christendom has acted like that babysitter. Jesus left
instructions with his representatives to feed people spiritually
by teaching them the truth of God’s Word and
helping them to be spiritually clean. (John 21:15-17) Yet,
Christendom has dismally failed to obey his direction.
She has left people spiritually starved, confused by falsehoods
and ignorant of basic Bible truths. (Isaiah 65:13;
Amos 8:11) Even her attempts to better this world can
hardly excuse her willful disobedience. After all, this
world system is like a house that is slated for demolition!
God’s Word makes it clear that Satan’s world system is
soon to be destroyed.—1 John 2:15-17.
14 On the other hand, Jesus must be very happy to look
down from heaven and see that millions of people are
fulfilling the disciple-making commission that he gave
his followers before leaving the earth. (Matthew 28:19,
20) What a privilege it is to contribute to the joy of
the Messianic King! Let us be determined never to give
up in assisting “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matthew
24:45) Unlike Christendom’s clergy, this class of anointed
Christians has obediently spearheaded the preaching
work and has faithfully fed Christ’s sheep.
15 We can be sure that the King is angry when he sees
the lovelessness that prevails on the earth today. We
might recall how the Pharisees criticized Jesus for performing
cures on the Sabbath. They were so hardhearted,
so set in their ways, that they could not see past
their own narrow interpretation of the Mosaic Law and
the oral law. Jesus’ miracles did good beyond measure!
14. What work is making Jesus happy today, and why?
15, 16. (a) How does Jesus feel about the lovelessness so prevalent
today, and how do we know that? (b) How has Christendom earned
Jesus’ anger?
