Jesus, in the beginning of the days of His glory on earth as the ANOINTED ONE, even his family members did not believe him.
7) 1... After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He didn’t want to travel around in Judea. That was because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
7) 2.....The Jewish Feast of Booths was near.
7) 3.....Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea. Then your disciples there will see the works that you do.
7) 4.....No one who wants to be well known does things in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
7) 5.... Even Jesus’ own brothers (His Own Family) did not believe in him. (They said all that in their unbelief and as brothers to brother simple sarcasm).
Where did Jesus go wrong that his own family members did not believe in him? He was the smartest, most kind and perfect son to Joseph and Mary. He had to be the perfect brother, the unique relative. You and I have sinned much, but Jesus He did nothing wrong, neither did he ever wrong anyone. To his bothers, like Joseph, Jesus was envied by them. It took them awhile to really accept that Jesus was who he really was, the Son of God. His miracles astonished them but evidently it did not convince them that He was the Lord from heaven that became flesh. That took a while, even a breakthrough and an overcoming, even a revelation.
Miracles and healings tickle the on seers wonderment, but they do not guarantee that one will believe that you are the Son of God from heaven. That takes revelation. It has to be revealed. Veils have to be removed. Eyes have to be opened. Rulers of the darkness of this worlds blindness have to be overcome.
Maybe it was the Lords resurrection that finally won them over to the great confession of Peter the apostle...Peter said, I say that you Jesus are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.....Jesus told Peter, men nor the world's schools of learning made this known to you. Only the Spirit of My Father caused you to know this.....Gods Spirit bears witness with our spirits that Jesus is the Son of God.
Be thankful that you have heard His voice and that your eyes have been opened and that you have received the saving revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the Lord from heaven, the Son of the Living God. Immanuel meaning God with us. This first revelation is the foundation for all the rest of the knowledge of redemption and of the Son of God. With out this first revelation, the Cross of Christ is then just another man dying for His crimes. But being that it was Emmanuel which means God with us, that makes the Cross of Jesus and His sacrifice ALL POWERFUL to ransom and Almighty to redeem....deno......share freely.
