Jehovah's Witnesses in Dagsboro, Maryland, and Berlin are inviting the public to two events this Easter season: commemorating the death of Jesus Christ and hearing a presentation called “The Resurrection – Victory Over Death.” I'm inviting you.
The commemoration will be held on Swamp Road in Dagsboro to discuss the importance of Jesus' death and how individuals can “benefit from what God and Christ have done for us.” It will be held at the Kingdom Hall, 32723, and the Kingdom Hall, 212 West Street, Dagsboro. Berlin, both on Sunday March 24th at 7pm.
Resurrection presentations will be held at all local Kingdom Halls starting at 10 a.m. Sunday, March 17, said John Gay, a spokesman for the group. The 30-minute talk will focus on “the Biblical hope that the dead will rise again in the near future,” Gay said.
Gay said Jehovah's Witnesses, like mainstream Christians, believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his death on the crucifixion, but many Christians also adopt Easter customs such as the Easter bunny and colored eggs. Jehovah's Witnesses, on the other hand, said they focused on the Bible passage Luke 22. :19 That Jesus, before he died, took bread, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is given for you; this I do in remembrance of me.'' It is depicted.
“The Memorial of Jesus' death is memorable for Jehovah's Witnesses, it shows our unity around the world, and that's what makes it different. It's about his death, and it's about his death. It's not about the resurrection. We absolutely believe in his resurrection. It provides his assurance that all will rise up and be resurrected. The difference is, what are we remembering here? “Jesus commanded us to remember his death, not his resurrection,” Gay explained.
Jehovah's Witnesses, following the custom of early Christians, observe this commemoration every year on the anniversary of Jesus' death, according to the Biblical lunar calendar.
“For Jehovah's Witnesses, honoring and remembering Jesus on the anniversary of his death is the most important event of the year. We are pleased that millions of people who are not Jehovah's Witnesses are participating in this event around the world. “We are reaching out to people in our local community to join us in remembering Jesus Christ,” Gay said.
As part of Jehovah's Witnesses' missionary work, members of the public are invited to share the gospel with others.
