All In God's Time

Topic: Sovereign Timing Passage: John 7:1–13

Sunday Service
In the preface to Jesus' teaching at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, we are given an example of the RIGHT TIME and the WRONG TIME in God's sovereign schedule for Jesus' life and ministry.
1.  THE WRONG TIME IN GOD'S SOVEREIGN SCHEDULE (vv. 1-9)
Jesus had to remind His disciples that His time had not yet come - that is, the time of His death and resurrection in order that salvation could be offered to men, This was the reason Christ came to earth in the first place. Even Jesus' brothers came to believe that He was the Son of God, but it wasn't until after Jesus' death and resurrection that they came to saving faith.
2.  THE RIGHT TIME IN GOD'S SOVEREIGN SCHEDULE (vv. 10-13)
Jesus knew the right time to make His grandiose entrance into Jerusalem, but He also knew that the Jewish leadership was seeking to kill Him durimng the Feast of Booths. Jesus instead chose that time to begin teaching in the Temple.
Thank God that everything in your life happens according to His sovereign schedule. Ask Him to help you not to worry or be in a hurry but to patiently wait for His perfect timing in everything.
