“All for Your Glory”
John writes about a peculiar interaction between Jesus and his brothers. They asked Him to go to a festival to show His works (miracles) and Jesus says that He cannot go and that the time is not right. It was clear that Jesus’ own brothers didn’t believe in Him. Then, in verse 10 we read “However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.”
As we read this story, we can see that Jesus is so very connected to His father in heaven. He is not after showing off or proving anything. He goes not in His time but His Father’s. He uses wisdom to decide when is the appropriate time to speak. When He speaks, He will always glorify His Father. Let’s reflect and ask ourselves if our actions and motives are like Jesus.
Jesus references “personal glory” in verse 18. At some point, we have all striven for personal gain/glory. How can you guard against seeking personal glory when you’re talking with others about the things of God?
Pray this prayer...
Dear Jesus, Help me stay connected to you. I want to hear your voice always. I want my life to glorify you in all that I do. Help me to hear you more clearly. I want to go when you tell me to go, speak when you tell me to speak, and listen when you want me to listen. I want my heart's one goal to be to bring glory, honor, and praise to you. Help me to be more like you in all that I do. I love you.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Jesus was more than just a figurative religious voice. He actually walked this earth as a man revealing to us the full nature of God. One of his best friends, John, took time to write down for us the account of his life, ministry, and teachings. This six-week study through the Gospel of John is not only history, but it’s also His Story.
