John 7:6

John 7:6 says, Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.  Jesus told His brethren that His time was not yet come.  Even though He was the Son of God, Jesus came to earth for a purpose, and He set the example for everyone who believes in Him to follow. We are to do things on God's schedule.  Again, this does not mean every minute is preordained, but that we need to daily seek God's guidance for that day.  Jesus then told them their time was always ready. They had nothing to do to keep them from going to the feast, but Jesus had to use His time wisely. As His followers, when we have time to spare, do we look for ways to serve God, or do we look for ways to serve self?  Verse seven adds, The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.  Jesus pointed out another difference between His brethren and Him. No one was trying to kill them as they were Jesus.  We may have problems where we live, but very few people are trying to kill us because of our faith. In many countries where they are trying to kill Christians, the Christians there are more faithful than we are.  We need to follow Jesus' example and follow the will of the Father no matter what.  Jesus said He could testify that the works of the world were evil.  We seem to think we have it a lot worse than anyone before us, but the world has been evil since the Garden of Eden.  Our time is much better spent witnessing to the salvation of Christ than moaning about the evils of the world.  If we begin to spend all our time talking about how bad the world is, then how do we get out the message of hope? Verse eight continues, Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.  Jesus told the disciples to go up to the feast, but once again said His time was not yet come so He wasn’t going.  The people were still trying to make Him a physical king and the religious leaders were still trying to discredit or arrest Him, but it was not yet time for that to occur.  Verse nine concludes, When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.  After saying this, Jesus abode in Galilee.
