His hour had not yet come.
John 7:30-31, So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
We see the mighty hand of God guiding, and Jesus moving in great power among the ordinary people, having the Holy Spirit without measure! The rulers were blinded, and yet they were powerless because His hour had not yet come. And those who were called were seeing His miracles as a manifestation of His divinity, the Christ, the Messiah, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The rulers sought to protect their own power while Jesus sought to unleash the power of God! Are we seeking to follow God by the power given us through the Holy Spirit?
Come, Holy Spirit, breathe on us, ignite us, that we may bring glory to God in all that we do and say!
