In God’s Timing — May 28 [Description]Passage Overview: John 7:2-15In this passage, Jesus’ brothers urge Him to go publicly to the Feast of Tabernacles to show off His miracles, believing He should build a following. But their advice is rooted in disbelief—they don’t truly understand who He is. Jesus responds that His time hasn’t yet come, highlighting how He operates according to God’s timing, not human pressure.Eventually, Jesus does go to the festival—but in secret, not for attention or recognition. Despite public speculation and divided opinions about Him, Jesus boldly teaches in the temple, astonishing the crowd with His wisdom—especially since He had no formal education.This section sets the stage for deeper conflict and misunderstanding, showing how Jesus remained faithful to His mission, even when those closest to Him misunderstood or doubted Him. It’s a powerful snapshot of living with purpose in a world full of mixed messages. 365D 148

John 7:2-15 365D 148.1

2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 365D 148.2

3 His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 365D 148.3

4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 365D 148.4

5 For even His brothers did not believe in Him. 365D 148.5

6 Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 365D 148.6

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. 365D 148.7

8 You go up to this feast. I am not ^{[b]NU omits yet} yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” 365D 148.8

9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee. 365D 148.9

10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 365D 148.10

11 Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 365D 148.11

12 And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 365D 148.12

13 However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews. 365D 148.13

14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 365D 148.14

15 And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?” 365D 148.15
