1. How to “Run a Race Against Horses”
(10 min.)
As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we expect to experience opposition, as Jeremiah did (Jer 11:21; w04 11/1 16 ¶12)
Contending with the more challenging trials ahead may be compared to ‘running a race against horses’ (Jer 12:5; w11 3/15 32 ¶19)
Cultivating brotherly love now will help us face difficulties during the great tribulation (Isa 26:20; w23.07 6-7 ¶15-16)
