15 Insight on the News

16 Creation Tells of God's Glory

But we are privileged also to preach "Christ impaled"

18 Christ Impaled, "The Power of God"

To the Jews, Jesus appeared weak; he was not the kind of "messiah"

to free them from Rome's yoke. But as the ransom he became God's

"power" for saving all mankind

23 Christ Impaled, "The Wisdom of God"

We preach also God's "wisdom," highlighting the resurrection hope based on Jesus' sacrifice. How superior to Jewish tradition and Grecian philosophies of immortality and evolution!

28 The Sermon on the Mount 30 All Ready to "Go"

A WATCHTOWER enables a person to look far into the distance and announce to others what is seen. Likewise, this magazine, published by Jehovah's Witnesses, aids the reader to see what the future holds. Since it began publication in 1879, "The Watchtower" has held faithfully to God's Word as its authority. It stays clear of all political involvement. It points to the Bible prophecies showing that Jesus Christ is God's means for restoring peace and harmony to this globe. It shows that this Son of God, on the basis of his shed blood, will release mankind from sin and death to enjoy eternal life in happiness on a paradise earth. Because Jehovah God will accomplish all this soon through his kingdom by Jesus Christ, "The Watchtower" announces that kingdom as the real hope for mankind.
