Family opposition. For some, the biggest challenge to observing the Memorial is family opposition. Consider the example of a Bible student named Sue. In 2021, on the day before the Memorial, Sue told her Bible teacher that because of opposition at home, she would not be able to attend the Memorial. Her Bible teacher read Luke22:44. Then she explained to her when we experience difficulties, we should follow Jesus' example by turning to Jehovah in prayer and by putting our complete trust in Him. The next day, Sue prepared the emblems and watched the special Morning Worship program on jw.org . That evening, while alone in her room, she connected to the Memorial by phone. Afterward, Sue wrote to her Bible teacher: "You encouraged me so much yesterday. I did everything I could to attend the Memorial, and Jehovah really did the rest. I cannot express how happy ad thankful I am!" Do you think that Jehovah can help you if you face a similar situation?
Jehovah greatly appreciates our efforts to commemorate Jesus' death. We can be sure that he will bless us when we show appreciation for what he has done for us. (Read Romans 8:31, 32) Let us, then, be determined to attend the Memorial this year and do what we can to increase our share in spiritual activities during the Memorial season.
