04: My time has not yet come (John 2:1 – 23)

Though the world didn’t recognize the Messiah, some of them did and followed Him. However, they were not on the same page with Jesus regarding the Messianic expectations. They expected signs of miracles, but Jesus meant a different kind of sign. 👉 Read John 2:1 - 25 Q 1. What was Jesus’ reply to His mother’s request? Answers 👉 “Woman, why are you saying this to me? My time has not yet come.” Mary thought the Messiah would deliver Israel from Rome by His miraculous power. Now, it seemed the right time for Jesus to reveal Himself. However, doing miracles was not Jesus' way to reveal His identity; the cross and the resurrection will be vital evidence of being the Messiah of God.

Joab knew David would not be happy with Absalom’s death and therefore sent a Cushite soldier who might be killed by David, though Joab would accept that risk. Q2. The passage repeatedly refers to David as ‘the king.’ How many times do you see ‘the king’ from 18:19 – 19:8? Answers 👉 More than 11 times. Also, Absalom is called ‘the king’s son’ (18:20), and they addressed David as ‘my lord the king’ (18:28, 31, 32). This passage contrasts the grief of losing a son with the responsibilities of a king. David was caught between these two identities and responsibilities. Q3. When David heard his son had died, what did he cry? Answers 👉 ‘My s...
