Why Jesus disciples needed encouragement? Some of them left their houses, families, and different-different business just to follow Jesus. (Matt. 19:27) They treat some of them bad because they were Jesus disciples. (John 9:22) The disciples made all this sacrifices because they believe that Jesus was the Messiah. (Matt. 16:16) But when Jesus die, they were discourage, and they were not having any hope again. Jesus understand that it was normal for his disciple them to feel bad when he die. He not look at it like they were not having faith. So the same day he came back to life, he started encouraging them. For example, he appear to Mary Magdalene when she was crying to his tomb. (John 20:​11, 16) He also appear to the two disciples that wor going to one village call Emmaus. And he appear to the apostle Peter. w24.10 13 ¶5-6

Parents, prepare your child to explain why he believe that somebody made everything. Maybe you can discuss with your child the articles on jw.org, “Young People Ask—Creation or Evolution?” Then your child can choose the one that will be more easy to help people understand the truth about the Creator. Encourage him to use easy example and idea to help somebody who get interest in the topic. For example, maybe his schoolmate will say: “I only believe what I can see, and I not see God before.” Then the young Christian can say: “Imagine that you walking way in the forest and nobody around and you see some kindna fine house. Wetin you will say? I sure you will say that somebody build that house. So, if that somebody who get plenty sense build that house, you not think that somebody who get plenty sense made the whole world?” w24.12 18 ¶16

All of us need advice that can help us to make good decisions in life. We can get this advice dem from elders and other mature Christians. If they older than us, we must not feel that their advice that old school thing. Jehovah want us to learn from older people. They na live for long time and they get plenty experience, understanding, and wisdom more than us. Way back, Jehovah use some faithful older people to encourage and guide his people. For example, He use Moses, David, and the apostle John. All of them wor not living the same time, and their situation wor different-different. Before they die, they gave good-good advice to the young people. Each of this faithful older men dem talk about how it important to obey God. So whether we young or old, we can benefit from reading their advice.—Rom. 15:4; 2 Tim. 3:16. w24.11 8 ¶1-2
