The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.

—Isa. 9:7.


​

Those words refer to what the rulership of God’s Son will accomplish.
They emphasize our heavenly Father’s active interest in the salvation of mankind.
Jehovah’s example of zeal clearly indicates that our God-given work as
Kingdom proclaimers deserves our wholehearted support, our enthusiasm, our zeal.

Our burning desire to help people get to know God is a reflection of Jehovah’s zeal.

As God’s fellow workers, then, are we personally determined to have the fullest
share in proclaiming the good news that our circumstances will permit?

(1 Cor. 3:9)

Consider, too, Jesus’ zeal. He set a perfect example of zealous perseverance in the ministry.
Despite bitter opposition, he maintained his zeal for the preaching work right to the painful end of his earthly life.


(John 18:36, 37)


As the time for his sacrificial death drew near, Jesus’ determination
to help others come to know Jehovah intensified.
