In the first century C.E., Jehovah formed the Christian congregation How did he guide those early Christians? He appointed Jesus as the head of the congregation. (Ephesians 5:23) But Jesus did not personally direct each individual disciple. He used the apostles and the older men in Jerusalem to take the lead. (Acts 15:1, 2) Also, elders were appointed to guide the congregations. - 1 THESSALONIANS5:12; TITUS 1:5.
How did first-century Christians respond? The majority were glad to follow the instructions they received. In fact, "they rejoiced over the encouragement" they were given. (Read Acts 15:30, 31.) How, though, has Jehovah been guiding his people in more recent times?
