Shalom!
\nMay the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed forever. Welcome again to another message of eternal life.<\/p>\n

Let us read from John 1:35\u201339:<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.
\nAnd looking upon Jesus as He walked, he said, \u2018Behold the Lamb of God!\u2019<\/em>
\nThe two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
\nThen Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, \u2018What do you seek?\u2019<\/em>
\nThey said to Him, \u2018Rabbi\u2019 (which means, Teacher), \u2018where are You staying?\u2019<\/em>
\nHe said to them, \u2018Come and see.\u2019<\/em>
\nThey came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day \u2014 for it was about the tenth hour.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

WHY DID THE SCRIPTURE MENTION THE TIME?<\/h3>\n

You may wonder \u2014 why did the Bible record the exact time, \u201cfor it was about the tenth hour\u201d?<\/em>
\nAt first glance, it may seem like a small detail, but in the Word of God, every moment and every word carries meaning.<\/p>\n

Those two disciples \u2014 one of them being Andrew \u2014 left John the Baptist immediately after hearing him testify, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God!\u201d<\/em> They began following Jesus quietly from behind. They didn\u2019t want Him to disappear from their sight; they followed patiently, step by step, without Him even speaking to them.<\/p>\n

What they didn\u2019t know is that the Lord had already noticed them.
\nHe knew they were following from afar, searching for something deeper.
\nAnd when the right moment came \u2014 the tenth hour<\/em> \u2014 Jesus suddenly turned and asked, \u201cWhat do you seek?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That was the turning point. The moment of revelation. The time when the Lord Himself decided to stop, turn, and reveal who He was to those who had faithfully followed Him in silence.<\/p>\n

\n

YOUR \u201cTENTH HOUR\u201d WILL COME<\/h3>\n

Beloved, the Bible tells us:<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Luke 11:9\u201310<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You may be following Christ \u2014 praying, reading His Word, doing all you can to know Him \u2014 and yet you feel He hasn\u2019t turned toward you. Do not give up!
\nJesus has already seen your effort, your longing, and your faith. The only thing remaining is for your tenth hour to arrive.<\/p>\n

Before your sun sets \u2014 before darkness falls in your life \u2014 the Lord will turn toward you. He will reveal Himself to you personally, just as He did to those two disciples.<\/p>\n

Remember Simeon, the righteous man who was told by God that he would not die before seeing the Messiah (Luke 2:25). Indeed, that promise was fulfilled \u2014 his \u201ctenth hour\u201d came.<\/p>\n

In the same way, your hour will come \u2014 that divine moment when the Lord turns to you and says, \u201cCome and see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Do not lose heart. Keep following. Your tenth hour is near.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Luke 11:10<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

May the Lord bless you.
