Conversation with His Brothers

Sermon 18 May || John 7:1-9

Jesus’s conversation with his brothers is a bit testy. He leaves them, and us, with two challenges,

1-Approach time with intentionality, be mindful of the times we are in

2-Approach life with conviction, be mindful of the growing evil

Discussion Points

• 1-For his brothers, “your time is always here.” What was Jesus inferring? What does a life look like where any time will do?
• 2-Jesus also made this statement to his brothers, “The world cannot hate you.” It was not a compliment. With respect to the world, what would Jesus say about us?
• 3-Would it have mattered to his brothers if Jesus went to Jerusalem and was killed?
