Pushing The Bus

In a speech, a brother shared the following illustration:
A man was going on a trip and, when buying his ticket, they asked him:
“Which seat would you like to go: 1st Class, 2nd Class or 3rd Class?” He, thinking about the difference, decides to go in the 1st Class seats.

On the way, the bus breaks down and it was necessary to be pushed. The driver announces through the microphone:
“3rd Class Passengers! Get off and push the bus!”

So they obey, get off the bus and push with all their might. Again, the voice of the driver is heard, announcing:
“Second Class Passengers! Get down and see how everyone else pushes the bus!”

They went right away! The driver now announces:
“1st Class Passengers! Stay where you are and don’t get tired!”

That man was glad he chose to go 1st Class.

After telling the illustration, the speaker asked the assistance:
“Brothers and sisters, which seat would you like to go to?”
Most responded that they would go 1st Class. Continuing the brother said:
“‍The journey of these passengers is similar to our life as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Who are the 3rd Class?
‍They are those brothers who give all of themselves in the service of Jehovah. Who strive day after day to give their best, not caring about perks or rewards.

Who are the 2nd Class?
They are those “brothers” who only criticize the efforts of others, speaking ill of them, complaining and even mocking.

Who are the 1st Class?
They are those “brothers” who are at ease, waiting for others to do all the work for them, without having to get tired.”

After the explanation, the speaker brother asked the assistance again:
“Which seat are you my brothers and sisters sitting on the trip to paradise? 1st, 2nd or 3rd Class?”

"It is good for everyone of us to think about the seat we are choosing to be in.”

DO YOU KNOW WHICH SEAT TO CHOOSE? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO CHANGE SEAT?
We all want to go to one and the same destination: ETERNAL LIFE! The journey is the same, but getting there will depend a lot on the seat class we choose!
There is still time to change.
