Summary

As opposition against Jesus grows, his brothers urge him to go publicly to the Feast of Tabernacles and play to the crowds. Jesus responds that his timing and purposes are not the same as the world's. The passage highlights the tension between worldly recognition and faithful obedience, between impatience and trust in God's timing. Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?
