SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 8/20

John 6:15

“When Jesus saw that they were ready

to force him to be their King,

he slipped away into the hills by himself.”

 

This happened following the feeding of the 5,000. 

 

Would Jesus be sad because

the crowd did not understand the significance

of the miracle? 

I don’t think so.

 

This was one of the burdens

he carried during his earthly ministry.

 

He would know that the time

had not come for

their eyes to be opened,

their ears unstopped,

or their hearts softened. 

This was the work of the Holy Spirit

who had not yet come.

 

Jesus wept at Lazarus’ tomb

and over Jerusalem

because the time had not come

for the Father’s plan to be fulfilled.

 

We should always remember

that Jesus was never alone,

He was always in his father’s presence

and always knew that all things

would be revealed

in God’s good time.
