Evening: Psalms 12, 13, 14; John 7:1-13
Jesus resists his brothers’ (companions) efforts to get him to Jerusalem: there, they think he will gain renown through his signs. Jesus says it is not his time yet. Yet soon, in the spring, he will offer a remedy for the world’s brokenness by taking the burden of it on himself. Thus will he inaugurate his kingdom. The world rejects him by succumbing to the temptation to try to live without God. Soon all will see the remedy which Jesus does offer when his time comes ... He will offer himself as the founder of a new creation.
