nothing would make the members of the branch offices
happier than for that to happen. In addition to all
this printing there were 242,215,027 other pieces of
literature run off the presses, such as handbills, placards
used for advertising public meetings, as well
as the Informant, letters, letterheads, etc. The literature
is available, and as far as the people of the world
are concerned the majority of them can be reached
with the good news. The responsibility to bring it to
them rests with the Lord's people as they preach the
Word, and, by Jehovah's grace, that they will do.
HOLDING ON FAITHFULLY
Jehovah's witnesses know that long ago the Supreme
One of the universe spoke to the faithful men
of old, and that he spoke to them by means of the
prophets. But now, at the end of this old system of
things, he speaks to us by means of his Son, who is
his appointed heir of all things. (Heb. 1:1,2) We
have a record of what he said and we can study it.
Not only that, the greatest event in history has occm'red,
namely, Christ Jesus has been placed upon
his throne and is ruling as Jehovah's king! He is
God's reflected glory and the exact representation of
his being. He is much better than the angels because
he has inherited a name more excellent than any of
these. If what the angels said happened, more surely
will the sayings of the Son of God take place. Certainly
we must listen to his commands and do them.
It is because of the instruction of the Son of God
that Jehovah's witnesses go out and proclaim the message
of the Kingdom. Paul said to us, as God's spokesman,
at Hebrews 2: 1 (NW) : "That is why it is necessary
for us to pay more than the usual attention to
the things heard by us, that we may never drift
away." We must keep in mind that the one speaking
and giving directions is the only-begotten Son of God.
