FRIDAY As for Jehovah, He Sees What the Heart Is 1 Samuel 16:7 (1 Samuel 16:7) But Jehovah said to Samuel: Do not look at his appearance and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For not the way man sees [is the way God sees], because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is. Morning 9:20 Music 9:30 Song No. 52 and Prayer 9:40 Chairmans Address: Why Must We Safeguard Our Heart? (Proverbs 4:23; Jeremiah 17:510) (Proverbs 4:23) More than all else that is to be guarded, safeguard your heart, for out of it are the sources of life. (Jeremiah 17:5-10) This is what Jehovah has said: Cursed is the able-bodied man who puts his trust in earthling man and actually makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from Jehovah himself. 6 And he will certainly become like a solitary tree in the desert plain and will not see when good comes; but he must reside in parched places in the wilderness, in a salt country that is not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the able-bodied man who puts his trust in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah has become. 8 And he will certainly become like a tree planted by the waters, that sends out its roots right by the watercourse; and he will not see when heat comes, but his foliage will actually prove to be luxuriant. And in the year of drought he will not become anxious, nor will he leave off from producing fruit. 9 The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it? 10 I, Jehovah, am searching the heart, examining the kidneys, even to give to each one according to his ways, according to the fruitage of his dealings. 10:10 Acquiring an Obedient HeartIs It Possible? (1 Kings 3:9) (1 Kings 3:9) And you must give to your servant an obedient heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this difficult people of yours? 10:30 Do You Have a Balanced View of Yourself? (Romans 12:3) (Romans 12:3) For through the undeserved kindness given to me I tell everyone there among YOU not to think more of himself than it is necessary to think; but to think so as to have a sound mind, each one as God has distributed to him a measure of faith. 10:50 Song No. 57 and Announcements 11:00 Symposium: Beware of Dangerous Heart Conditions! Cunning of Heart (Proverbs 7:10) (Proverbs 7:10) And, look! there was a woman to meet him, with the garment of a prostitute and cunning of heart. Double Heart (Psalm 12:2) (Psalm 12:2) Untruth they keep speaking one to the other; With a smooth lip they keep speaking even with a double heart. Halfhearted (Psalm 119:113) (Psalm 119:113) The halfhearted ones I have hated, But your law I have loved. In Want of Heart (Proverbs 7:7; 10:21) (Proverbs 7:7) that I might peer upon the inexperienced ones. I was interested in discerning among the sons a young man in want of heart, (Proverbs 10:21) The very lips of the righteous one keep pasturing many, but for want of heart the foolish themselves keep dying.

11:40 Keynote Address: Let Gods Word Reveal the Intentions of Your Heart (Hebrews 4:12; James 1:22-25) (Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any twoedged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. (James 1:22-25) However, become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is. 25 But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing [it]. 12:10 Song No. 113 and Intermission Afternoon 1:50 Music 2:00 Song No. 106 2:05 Questions About the Heart Answered (Deuteronomy 4:39; Philippians 1:7, 8) (Deuteronomy 4:39) And you well know today, and you must call back to your heart that Jehovah is the [true] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. There is no other. (Philippians 1:7, 8) It is altogether right for me to think this regarding all of YOU, on account of my having YOU in my heart, all of YOU being sharers with me in the undeserved kindness, both in my [prison] bonds and in the defending and legally establishing of the good news. 8 For God is my witness of how I am yearning for all of YOU in such tender affection as Christ Jesus has. 2:25 Avoid Testing God in Your Heart (Psalm 78:18, 19) (Psalm 78:18, 19) And they proceeded to test God in their heart By asking for something to eat for their soul. 19 So they began to speak against God. They said: Is God able to arrange a table in the wilderness? 2:45 Sound Drama: Fortify Your Hearts to Be Witnesses (Matthew 27:3228:15; Luke 24:8-53) (Matthew 27:32-28:15) As they were going out they found a native of Cyrene named Simon. This man they impressed into service to lift up his torture stake. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Skull Place, 34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink; but, after tasting it, he refused to drink. 35 When they had impaled him they distributed his outer garments by casting lots, 36 and, as they sat, they watched over him there. 37 Also, they posted above his head the charge against him, in writing: This is Jesus the King of the Jews. 38 Then two robbers were impaled with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 So the passersby began speaking abusively of him, wagging their heads 40 and saying: O you would-be thrower-down of the temple and builder of it in three days, save yourself! If you are a son of God, come down off the torture stake! 41 In like manner also the chief priests with the scribes and older men began making fun of him and saying: 42 Others he saved; himself he cannot save! He is King of Israel; let him now come down off the torture stake and we will believe on him. 43 He has put his trust in God; let Him now rescue him if He wants him, for he said, I am Gods Son. 44 In the same way even the robbers that were impaled together with him began reproaching him. 45 From the sixth hour on a darkness fell over all the land, until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 47 At hearing this, some of those standing there began to say: This man is calling Elijah. 48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and soaked it with sour wine and put it on a reed and went

giving him a drink. 49 But the rest of them said: Let him be! Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him. [[Another man took a spear and pierced his side, and blood and water came out.]] 50 Again Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and yielded up [his] spirit. 51 And, look! the curtain of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rockmasses were split. 52 And the memorial tombs were opened and many bodies of the holy ones that had fallen asleep were raised up, 53 (and persons, coming out from among the memorial tombs after his being raised up, entered into the holy city,) and they became visible to many people. 54 But the army officer and those with him watching over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things happening, grew very much afraid, saying: Certainly this was Gods Son. 55 Moreover, many women were there viewing from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee to minister to him; 56 among whom was Mary Magdalene, also Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 57 Now as it was late in the afternoon, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who had also himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went up to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given over. 59 And Joseph took the body, wrapped it up in clean fine linen, 60 and laid it in his new memorial tomb, which he had quarried in the rock-mass. And, after rolling a big stone to the door of the memorial tomb, he left. 61 But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary continued there, sitting before the grave. 62 The next day, which was after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together before Pilate, 63 saying: Sir, we have called to mind that that impostor said while yet alive, After three days I am to be raised up. 64 Therefore command the grave to be made secure until the third day, that his disciples may never come and steal him and say to the people, He was raised up from the dead! and this last imposture will be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said to them: YOU have a guard. Go make it as secure as YOU know how. 66 So they went and made the grave secure by sealing the stone and having the guard. 28 After the sabbath, when it was growing light on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the grave. 2 And, notice! a great earthquake had taken place; for Jehovahs angel had descended from heaven and approached and rolled away the stone, and was sitting on it. 3 His outward appearance was as lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 Yes, for fear of him the watchmen trembled and became as dead men. 5 But the angel in answer said to the women: Do not YOU be fearful, for I know YOU are looking for Jesus who was impaled. 6 He is not here, for he was raised up, as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7 And go quickly and tell his disciples that he was raised up from the dead, and, look! he is going ahead of YOU into Galilee; there YOU will see him. Look! I have told YOU. 8 So, quickly leaving the memorial tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to report to his disciples. 9 And, look! Jesus met them and said: Good day! They approached and caught him by his feet and did obeisance to him. 10 Then Jesus said to them: Have no fear! Go, report to my brothers, that they may go off into Galilee; and there they will see me. 11 While they were on their way, look! some of the guard went into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 And after these had gathered together with the older men and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient number of silver pieces to the soldiers 13 and said: Say, His disciples came in the night and stole him while we were sleeping. 14 And if this gets to the governors ears, we will persuade [him] and will set YOU free from worry. 15 So they took the silver pieces and did as they were instructed; and this saying has been spread abroad among the Jews up to this very day. (Luke 24:8-53) So they called his sayings to mind, 9 and they returned from the memorial tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 They were the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James. Also, the rest of the women with them

were telling the apostles these things. 11 However, these sayings appeared as nonsense to them and they would not believe the [women]. 12 [[But Peter rose and ran to the memorial tomb, and, stooping forward, he beheld the bandages alone. So he went off, wondering within himself at what had occurred.]] 13 But, look! on that very day two of them were journeying to a village about seven miles distant from Jerusalem [and] named Emmaus, 14 and they were conversing with each other over all these things that had come about. 15 Now as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began walking with them; 16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 He said to them: What are these matters that YOU are debating between yourselves as YOU walk along? And they stood still with sad faces. 18 In answer the one named Cleopas said to him: Are you dwelling as an alien by yourself in Jerusalem and so do not know the things that have occurred in her in these days? 19 And he said to them: What things? They said to him: The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people; 20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to the sentence of death and impaled him. 21 But we were hoping that this [man] was the one destined to deliver Israel; yes, and besides all these things, this makes the third day since these things occurred. 22 Moreover, certain women from among us also astonished us, because they had been early to the memorial tomb 23 but did not find his body and they came saying they had also seen a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive. 24 Further, some of those with us went off to the memorial tomb; and they found it so, just as the women had said, but they did not see him. 25 So he said to them: O senseless ones and slow in heart to believe on all the things the prophets spoke! 26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his glory? 27 And commencing at Moses and all the Prophets he interpreted to them things pertaining to himself in all the Scriptures. 28 Finally they got close to the village where they were journeying, and he made as if he was journeying on farther. 29 But they used pressure upon him, saying: Stay with us, because it is toward evening and the day has already declined. With that he went in to stay with them. 30 And as he was reclining with them at the meal he took the loaf, blessed it, broke it and began to hand it to them. 31 At that their eyes were fully opened and they recognized him; and he disappeared from them. 32 And they said to each other: Were not our hearts burning as he was speaking to us on the road, as he was fully opening up the Scriptures to us? 33 And in that very hour they rose and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those with them assembled together, 34 saying: For a fact the Lord was raised up and he appeared to Simon! 35 Now they themselves related the [events] on the road and how he became known to them by the breaking of the loaf. 36 While they were speaking of these things he himself stood in their midst [[and said to them: May YOU have peace.]] 37 But because they were terrified, and had become frightened, they were imagining they beheld a spirit. 38 So he said to them: Why are YOU troubled, and why is it doubts come up in YOUR hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; feel me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as YOU behold that I have. 40 [[And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet.]] 41 But while they were still not believing for sheer joy and were wondering, he said to them: Do YOU have something there to eat? 42 And they handed him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and he took it and ate it before their eyes. 44 He now said to them: These are my words which I spoke to YOU while I was yet with YOU, that all the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled. 45 Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures, 46 and he said to them: In this way it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47 and on the basis of his name repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nationsstarting out from Jerusalem, 48 YOU are to be witnesses of these things. 49 And, look!

For here I am creating Jerusalem a cause for joyfulness and her people a cause for exultation. 19 And I will be joyful in Jerusalem and exult in my people; and no more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or the sound of a plaintive cry.
