Jesus had previously mentioned that He had “other sheep”, “not of this pen.” He was referring to the gentiles. Now here in this week's passage we see that “some Greeks” were seeking Jesus and wanted to hear from Him. Immediately after that, Jesus says that His “hour has come.” We see that all along Jesus has had a plan to redeem the whole world not just the Jewish nation.  Also Jesus was deeply troubled at the thought of bearing the weight of mankind’s sin. But he stood firm in His resolve to complete his mission and become the perfect sacrifice for sin.

The Hour Has Come
