What does the phrase 'the hour has come' mean in John 17?

Answered in 1 source

The phrase 'the hour has come' signifies the appointed time for Jesus to fulfill His mission through His death and glorification.

In John 17, when Jesus says 'the hour has come,' it refers to the preordained time set by God for the crucifixion of Christ, which would lead to the ultimate glory of both the Son and the Father. This pivotal moment in salvation history indicates the culmination of Jesus' earthly ministry, where His death will bring about redemption and reveal the fullness of God's grace and justice. Rather than viewing His death as failure, it is the hour of triumph, demonstrating God’s sovereign plan of salvation unfolding.{...}
