keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">REV. 14:4</a>.</p> <p id="p33" data-pid="33" class="qu"> 1. How did true disciples of Jesus feel about following him?</p> <p id="p3" data-pid="3" data-rel-pid="[33]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="1"></span>ABOUT two and a half years into his ministry, Jesus “was teaching in public assembly at Capernaum.” Finding his speech shocking, “many of his disciples went off to the things behind and would no longer walk with him.” When Jesus asked his 12 apostles if they also wanted to go, Simon Peter replied: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life; and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">John 6:48,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/1/1" data-bid="2-2" class="b"> 59, 60,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/1/2" data-bid="2-3" class="b"> 66-69</a>) True disciples of Jesus refused to quit following him. After being anointed with holy spirit, they continued to submit to Jesus’ direction.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Acts 16:7-10</a>.</p> <p id="p34" data-pid="34" class="qu"> 2. (a) Who is “the faithful and discreet slave,” or “the faithful steward”? (b) How has the slave established a fine record of “following the Lamb”?</p> <p id="p4" data-pid="4" data-rel-pid="[34]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><sup>2</sup></span> What can be said about the anointed Christians in modern times? In his prophecy about “the sign of [his] presence and of the conclusion of the system of things,” Jesus referred to the composite body of his spirit-anointed followers on earth as “the faithful and discreet slave,” or “the faithful steward.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Matt. 24:3,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/3/1" data-bid="4-2" class="b"> 45;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/3/2" data-bid="4-3" class="b"> Luke 12:42</a>) As a group, the slave class has established an excellent record of “following the Lamb no matter where he goes.” (<em>Read</em> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b"><em>Revelation 14:4, 5</em></a><em>.</em>) Its members remain virgins in a spiritual sense by not defiling themselves with the beliefs and practices of “Babylon the Great,” the world empire of false religion. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Rev. 17:5</a>) No doctrinal falsehood is “found in their mouths,” and they remain “without blemish” from Satan’s world. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">John 15:19</a>) In the future, the remaining anointed ones on earth “will follow” the Lamb right into heaven.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">John 13:36</a>.</p> <p id="p35" data-pid="35" class="qu"> 3. Why is it important for us to trust the slave class?</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5" data-rel-pid="[35]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><sup>3</sup></span> Jesus has appointed the faithful and discreet slave “over his domestics,” that is, the individual members of the slave class, “to give them their food at the proper time.” He has also appointed the slave “over all his belongings.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Matt. 24:45-47</a>) These “belongings” include the growing “great crowd” of “other sheep.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Rev. 7:9;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/9/1" data-bid="10-2" class="b"> John 10:16</a>) Should not individual members of the anointed and the “other sheep” trust the slave appointed over them? There are many reasons why the slave class deserves our trust. Two outstanding reasons are: (1) Jehovah trusts the slave class. (2) Jesus also trusts the slave. Let us examine the evidence that both Jehovah God and Jesus Christ have complete confidence in the faithful and discreet slave.</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="ss"><strong>Jehovah Trusts the Slave</strong></p> <p id="p36" data-pid="36" class="qu"> 4. Why can we have confidence in the spiritual food served by the faithful and discreet slave?</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="4"><sup>4</sup></span> Consider what makes it possible for the faithful and discreet slave to provide timely, nutritious spiritual food. “I shall make you have insight and instruct you in the way you should go,” says Jehovah. He adds: “I will give advice with my eye upon you.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Ps. 32:8</a>) Yes, Jehovah provides direction to the slave. <span id="page25" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="25" data-before-text="25"></span>We can therefore have full confidence in the Scriptural insight, understanding, and guidance that we receive from the slave.</p> <p id="p37" data-pid="37" class="qu"> 5. What shows that God’s spirit is empowering the slave class?</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[37]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="5"><sup>5</sup></span> Jehovah also blesses the slave class with his holy spirit. While Jehovah’s spirit is invisible, what it produces in those upon whom it operates is not. Think of what the faithful and discreet slave has been able to accomplish in giving a worldwide witness about Jehovah God, his Son, and the Kingdom. Jehovah’s worshippers are actively proclaiming the Kingdom message in over 230 lands and island groups. Does that not give undeniable evidence that God’s spirit is empowering the slave? (<em>Read</em> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b"><em>Acts 1:8</em></a><em>.</em>) In providing timely spiritual food for Jehovah’s people the world over, the slave class must make vital decisions. In making them and putting them into effect, the slave exhibits love, mildness, and other aspects of the spirit’s fruitage.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b">Gal. 5:22, 23</a>.</p> <p id="p38" data-pid="38" class="qu">6, 7. To what extent does Jehovah trust the faithful slave?</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="6"><sup>6</sup></span> To appreciate the extent of Jehovah’s trust in the faithful slave, reflect on what he has promised its members. “The trumpet will sound,” wrote the apostle Paul, “and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which is mortal must put on immortality.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">1 Cor. 15:52, 53</a>) The anointed followers of Christ, who serve God faithfully and die in corruptible human bodies, are resurrected as something more than spirit creatures having everlasting life. They are given immortality—endlessness and indestructibility. Moreover, they receive incorruption, being given bodies that are beyond decay and apparently are self-sustaining. <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009123/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Revelation 4:4</a> describes these resurrected ones as seated upon thrones with golden crowns upon their heads. The glory of royalty awaits anointed Christians.

In the last 15 years, the number of congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide has grown from some 70,000 to over 100,000—an increase of over 40 percent. And what about the new disciples added? Nearly <span id="page27" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="27" data-before-text="27"></span>4.5 million disciples were baptized in the last 15 years—an average of more than 800 a day.

Meetings, assemblies, and conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses continue to build us up spiritually.</p> <p id="p17" data-pid="17" data-rel-pid="[42]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="12"><sup>12</sup></span> The faithful slave is also discreet in that it neither acts immodestly, running ahead of Jehovah, nor lags behind when God’s direction on a matter is clear. For example, while false religious leaders tacitly approve or openly condone as normal the selfish, godless conduct of the people of the world, the slave provides warnings against the pitfalls of Satan’s wicked system. The slave is able to provide wise and timely warnings because Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are blessing it. The slave thus deserves our complete trust. How, though, can we demonstrate that we trust the faithful and discreet slave?</p> <p id="p18" data-pid="18" class="ss"><strong>“Go With” the Anointed as They Follow the Lamb</strong></p> <p id="p43" data-pid="43" class="qu">13.
