What Time Is It?

John 12:23
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Most of my life I never wore a watch. I was always asking people, "What time is it?" When I was younger it was a question I would ask every two or three minutes apart. Especially if there was a specific time I was waiting on. I'm sure I bothered many people back then.

Can't you remember your parents telling you that you were going over to your cousins house at five o'clock? Usually mine would tell me this at about eight in the morning. So all day long I would ask, "What time is it? What time is it now? Is it five yet?"

Think of all the glorious miracles that the disciples saw Jesus perform. Imagine all the words of life and power that they heard come from the mouth of the Son of God. Over and over Jesus would tell them that His time had not yet come. I imagine that they would look at Him with that look of, "Is it time yet? Will you show your full glory now? Can we glorify you now?" Then one day when they probably lest expected it... Jesus says, "The hour is come..."

"IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK, LET'S GO!" I would yell to my parents. I would hurry them out the door because this is the time I had waited on all day. At eight in the morning it seemed like it would never get here. It seemed like the minutes were hours. But when I wasn't paying attention... the time came.

You may be waiting on Jesus to show up or you may be waiting on His return. Let me assure you this morning that He will show up. He will return. The hour will come some day that ALL will glorify the Son. We will ALL bow our knees, we will ALL confess that Jesus is Lord. As John said in the closing book of the Bible, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

Make up in your mind this morning that it is time! It's time that you glorify the Son of God, Jesus.
