Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God’s Time” – Faith: Even as the Jews wanted to arrest and kill Jesus, “His Hour has not yet come; so, no one laid a hand on Him.” Ponder on, “God’s Providence, is God unveiling His Will in His Time and Ways. We may wish to do things for God impatiently. However, it is wiser to seek and discern God’s Will and let His Providence prevail.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 7:1-2,10,25-27,30
Jesus travelled round Galilee; he could not travel round Judaea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. As the Jewish feast of Shelters drew near, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went up as well, not publicly but secretly.
Meanwhile some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, ‘Isn’t this the man they want to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they have nothing to say to him! Can it be true the authorities have recognised that he is the Christ? Yet we all know where he comes from, but when the Christ appears no one will know where he comes from.’
They wanted to arrest him then, but because his hour had not yet come no one laid a hand on him.
