Don’t crave the spotlight over being in the middle of God’s will. Serve God where and when He leads you. Join us this week as we look at how Jesus did this. 

John 7:1-13 (CSB)
​¹ After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since he did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill him. ² The Jewish Festival of Shelters was near. ³ So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples can see your works that you are doing. ⁴ For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” ⁵ (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
⁶ Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me because I testify about it ​— ​that its works are evil. ⁸ Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” ⁹ After he had said these things, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰ After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not openly but secretly. ¹¹ The Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, “Where is he? ” ¹² And there was a lot of murmuring about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He’s a good man.” Others were saying, “No, on the contrary, he’s deceiving the people.” ¹³ Still, nobody was talking publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
