John 12:23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
John 12:27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
The hour has come for Jesus to suffer and die on the cross. He was willing to submit fully to God. In his mind, he already saw the victory and glory (the resurrection) that is going to come. He must have felt joy despite of the forthcoming trouble.
When your hour of trials and tribulations arrive, will you stand firm in God to go through it and expect God to "resurrect" you till the end? God will spare your life if your time is not up yet.
The greater we suffer for Christ, the closer we reach great victory. Take heart when you suffer for the sake of Christ!
