“My Time Has Not Yet Come” John 2

In the gospel of John, there is this theme of destiny with time. On seven different occasions there are references from John and from the lips of Jesus of his hour not yet having arrived, and then it finally does come. It is a tension that starts building with the very first miracle of Jesus, and when his disciples first put their faith in Him. Jesus says to his mother, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” (Jn 2:4)
