Your time is now – John 7.6
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
Today, this verse stepped out of the page and grabbed my attention. Jesus is being challenged by his brothers to go up to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. They want him to go up and show the world that He is the Messiah to go and reveal his power and teach the people. Jesus says his time has not come. The manner and time for him to reveal his purpose to the world had not arrived. The cross in Jerusalem during the Passover would be the time that His purpose and power would be shown to the world. Power not to rule the world as a king but his power to rule over sin and death as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. But to his family, he says their time is now.
Reader, your time is now. Take the opportunity and the prodding of this devotional to challenge you to make a decision, to go and show the world that you believe in Jesus, to go public with what God is doing, and how he is moving in your heart. Let someone know today the difference he is making in your heart. You have a phone, you have the internet, you have social media accounts, you have a mouth, make the time and get rid of the excuses.
