This issue of ‘an hour’ was very important to Jesus. He walked the world for about 33 years, but He always spoke of ‘His hour’. It is that one hour which the world has never forgotten. Christ said to the authorities arresting Him, ‘This is your hour, and the power of darkness’, but they were crassly ignorant of the role they were playing. Their hour was also Christ’s hour to glorify His Father. Christ’s ‘hour’ runs like a thread in the texture through the Gospel of John. Who has not had their hour? Think of GOD and His hour! He had made the universe, invented stars, shaped the vast wheeling systems and flung them into the night sky. He did that! How could He talk about ‘His hour’? On earth as Man He cast out devils, stilled the whistling winds, and brought the mighty monster of the raging sea to heel like whipped hounds and raised Lazarus. What hours! But He still talked about His hour as if these times were not to be mentioned in comparison. What then? One day he walked into a room, met his twelve disciples, talked about His death, and called it His hour, not His last hour, as when people say ‘I thought my hour had come’, but the hour that was the peak glory of all His living activity. – Hallelujah, what a Savior. I pray that this New Year may be a peak of our living activity. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE.
