How does Jesus' response to His brothers reflect His mission?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' response to His brothers shows His commitment to God's timing and mission over familial expectations.

In John 7:6, Jesus tells His brothers, 'My time is not yet come,' illustrating His adherence to the divine timeline set by God. While His brothers encouraged Him to reveal His miracles publicly at the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus discerns that such actions, in their current context, would not align with His redemptive mission. His insistence on waiting reflects a profound understanding of His purpose, which was to make known the truth of His identity as the Son of God at the appointed time, rather than succumbing to the pressures or desires of those around Him.
