Jesus dicit

Word 227 of 310Hope

Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.

John 7:6

BSB

Read John 7 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (John 7)

His brothers didn't believe

Jesus' brothers urged him to go to the feast in Jerusalem and show himself. John honestly adds: neither did his brethren believe in him.

That changes later. Paul writes that the risen Jesus appeared to his brother James. And that same James became a leader of the church in Jerusalem. Whoever doesn't believe can still change. In your own family too.

Question for today

For whom in my family may I keep on hoping?

Prayer

Lord, even your own brothers didn't believe at first. I pray for my family. Your time will come. Amen.
