This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we looked at yesterday,

01:19

John chapter 7, where many people try to say that Jesus was lying because he said he wouldn't go to the feast because his time had yet not come, and then he does go to the feast.

01:28

However, the issue was never over whether Jesus went to the feast or not to go to the feast.

01:33

The issue is that his unbelieving brothers are challenging him to go to the feast, where all the

01:39

Jews are, and publicly show himself. That's the argument that they say.

01:45

They say that the things he's doing, he's doing in secret, and no one who seeks to be known would do it in secret.

01:51

They challenge him to show himself to the world. He says his time has yet not come.

01:57

He is not going there because of the fact to show himself to the world because he knows the

02:03

Jews will kill him. Now obviously, it's not that he was afraid of that because that is why he came, and he will eventually go, but at the right time.

02:11

Everything for Christ was about the timing, and he's saying his time has not come yet. But he did go to the feast, as is expected from a

02:19

Jewish person. He went to the feast. But the issue is not to go or not to go. The issue is whether he'd go publicly or privately.

02:26

His brothers are challenging him to go publicly and not to be in secret. He ends up going, but as we see in verse 10, after his brothers had gone up to the feast, he also went up not publicly but in private.

02:41

That's the issue. He did go to the feast. He wasn't lying because his brothers were asking him to go publicly, and the text in verse 10 makes it clear that he went privately and not publicly.
