John 11:7

John 11:7 says, Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. Jesus said to His disciples that they were going to Judaea again; Verse eight adds, His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?  The disciples asked Jesus why He would go there again when they recently tried to stone Him there.  We should never let fear keep us from going where God sends us.  From Jesus's decision to go this time, we can be sure the time was right.  We may not always understand God's timing, but we can be certain that when He says stay, we should stay, and when He says go, we should go. This may have been a test of the faith of the disciples.  As they said in verse eight, the Jews had just tried to kill Jesus there. They may have been concerned for Jesus, not recognizing yet Who He really is, or they might have been concerned for their own safety, again not recognizing Who He really is.  We need never question the power of God to accomplish His purpose or to protect His followers. Jesus did not answer their question directly.  Verse nine continues, Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.  God never expects His people to walk anywhere but in the light of Christ.  We do not need to worry about what the world is attempting to do to us as long as we rest in faith in Him.  When God's time is right, we need only to look to Him. Verse ten concludes, But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.  The disciples were becoming distracted by the events that had occurred when they were in Judaea before. This was causing them to stumble in the darkness of a lack of faith.  As long as we are in God's will, we walk in the light. Jesus then said if we stumble, there is no light in us.
