    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Work at good, . . . be liberal, ready to share.—1 Tim. 6:18.[/FONT]


    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Paul was recommending that[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] his fellow worshipers cultivate[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the spirit of generosity. Even in[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]difficult economic times, we can[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] promote a generous spirit. A fine[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] way to do this is to provide
    transportation    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] in the field ministry[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] and to and from the meetings for[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] those needing it. And what about[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]those who benefit from such acts[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] of loving-kindness? They would[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] be encouraging a positive spirit in[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]the congregation if they showed[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] appreciation, perhaps by offering[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] what they can to help defray[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]the increasingly high cost of[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] fuel.

    Moreover, would not our arranging    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] to spend more time with[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] our spiritual brothers and sisters[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]make them feel needed and[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] loved? When we abound in good[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] deeds [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“toward those related to[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]us in the faithâ€￾ [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]and are ready[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] to share our time and resources[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] with them, we not only deepen[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]our love for them but also help to[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] build a warm and positive spirit[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] in the congregation.

    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Tuesday, November 26

    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]The Law has become our tutor leading to Christ.—Gal. 3:24.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]

    In the first century C.E., Jehovah    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] revealed to his people that[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Jesus’ ransom sacrifice had abolished[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]the Mosaic Law. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Col. 2: 13, 14)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] All the sacrificial offerings[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] that the Jews had been making[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]for hundreds of years were no longer[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] necessary and no longer had[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] any value. The Law had fulfilled[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]its function as a [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“tutor leading to Christ.†[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]That is not to say that[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Christians are no longer interested[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]in sacrifices.

    On the contrary,    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the apostle Peter spoke of the[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] need to [/FONT]    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] “offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to
    God through Jesus Christ.†(1 Pet. 2:5)     [/FONT]     [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Moreover,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the apostle Paul had made it[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] clear that a dedicated Christian’s[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]life—every aspect of it—may appropriately[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] be considered [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“a sacrifice.†(Rom. 12:1) [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]

    So, then, a    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Christian makes sacrifices for Jehovah,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] either by offering up certain[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] things to him or by giving up[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]certain things for him. Our sacrifices,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] however, must be acceptable[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] to Jehovah.
