(NASB) Luke 22:14 “When the hour had come…”

  Jesus sat at the table with His disciples…Judas Iscariot would leave to betray Jesus before Jesus gave some of the deepest truths of God to those eleven men.
  Jesus earnestly desired, eagerly desired, to be there at that moment with those men.  (Luke 22:15)

  Throughout the ministry of Jesus, He would tell well-intentioned people “My hour has not yet come.”  He said this to His mother, Mary at the wedding feast in Cana. 
(John 2:1-4)
  One time His brothers were goading Him to show Himself to the world, yet He said, “My time has not yet fully come.”  (John 7:1-8)
  Another time Jesus went to celebrate the Feast of Booths in Jerusalem.  The religious leaders were even trying early on in His ministry to kill Him.  Yet Scripture states “and no man laid his hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.”  (John 7:30) 

  It is God’s perfect time and timing for His words of prophecy to be fulfilled.  Not what people want or try to manipulate!
  It is God’s promises that will be fulfilled, in God’s time and His perfect timing.
  It is God’s warnings which will be fulfilled, again in God’s time and perfect timing. 

  In the last week of Jesus’ life, Scripture now states “When the hour had come…”  It was all in God’s time and perfect timing.

  How could this affect your faith and mine in God?
  We can know that what happens to us and around us is God’s timing.  It is not others or even our timing but God’s perfect timing interwoven into the fabric of everyday life that will bring His ultimate plan and purpose to fruition.

  This moment is the right time to yield to God and His purposes and plans for you.  Are you on the same page as God, do you agree with God and His agenda?

  God’s time and timing are always perfect, never late nor early.  What we know happened in the first coming of Christ was prophesied and all those prophecies have been fulfilled.  There are prophecies concerning the end times.  They too, will be fulfilled, all of them!

(NIV) Hebrews 12:2-3 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
