ing me.” (John 21:19) Let us consider some of the blessings
that the Messianic King will bestow on those who
endure to the end.
Blessings Flow to Faithful Servants of the King
19 Following Jesus is the way to a truly blessed life right
now. If we accept Christ as our Master, following his direction
and using his example as our guide, we will find
treasures that people the world over seek in vain. We will
be blessed with work that fills our life with purpose and
meaning, a family of fellow believers united in a genuine
bond of love, a clean conscience, and peace of mind. In
short, we will find a life that is rich and satisfying. And
we will find still more.
20 In Jesus, Jehovah has provided an “Eternal Father” for
those who hope to live forever on earth. Jesus is a replacement
for the human father, Adam, who failed all his offspring
so miserably. (Isaiah 9:6, 7) By accepting Jesus as
our “Eternal Father,” exercising faith in him, we have a
sure hope of everlasting life. Further, we thereby get ever
closer to Jehovah God. As we have learned, striving to follow
Jesus’ example day by day is the best possible way to
obey this divine command: “Become imitators of God, as
beloved children.”—Ephesians 5:1.
21 As we imitate Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, we have
a wonderful privilege. We reflect a brilliant light. In a
world shrouded in darkness, where billions are misled
by Satan and imitate his traits, we who follow Christ
spread abroad reflections of the brightest light—the light
of Scriptural truths, the light of fine Christian qualities,
