How do we know Christ was following God's timing during His ministry?

Answered in 1 source

Christ indicated His obedience to divine timing by refusing to go to the Feast of Tabernacles until the right moment.

In John 7:6, Jesus clearly articulates His commitment to divine timing when He responds to His brethren by stating, 'My time is not yet come.' This statement underscores His understanding that He is operating under the divine will of the Father, and there are specific times for revealing His glory. His initial refusal to go up to the Feast publicly demonstrates His sensibility about the timing of His ministry. After His brethren left, He chose to go to the feast secretly, highlighting that His actions were rooted in obeying God's plan and schedule rather than succumbing to the pressures of public opinion or familial expectations. This principle emphasizes that obediently following God's timing is essential in the life of a believer.
