The hour has come; the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand.’ Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; and with him there was a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. (Mark 14: 41-43)

The hour has come. The time has arrived. This is the moment.

Jesus was always sensitive to timing. This is profoundly different than being fixated on time.

Many of us - certainly I do - are careful in organizing how we expend time.

Jesus did not organize time. He engaged in relationships.

But he was very aware of a moment ripe for healing, laughing, learning and sacrifice.
