“After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. Now the Jews’ Feast of Booths was at hand. So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” For not even his brothers believed in him. Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7:1-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because John says, “For not even his brothers believed in him.” Is truth true even when the world doesn’t believe? Of course. However, it’s difficult being the one to stand for truth in the moment. We know the brothers eventually realize who Jesus is and become leaders in the church. All people will eventually know the truth and we should help them understand with love and gentleness. Please pray that we and our friends stand for truth especially when everyone doesn’t see it. Please pray for Ransom and Doug’s group.
