Why is the concept of the hour significant in Jesus' life?

Answered in 1 source

The 'hour' refers to the appointed time for Jesus' suffering, glorification, and fulfillment of prophecies regarding His redemptive work.

The concept of the 'hour' is pivotal in the narrative of Jesus' life, representing the divinely appointed time for His passion and glorification. In John 17, when Jesus declares that 'the hour has come,' He signifies that the culmination of His earthly mission is at hand—the hour of His suffering and death which is essential for the redemption of His people. Throughout the Gospels, this 'hour' is referenced multiple times, indicating a certainty in God's sovereign plan. Every event surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection was meticulously orchestrated to fulfill prophecies and demonstrate His victory over sin and death, further affirming the authority and holiness of God's redemptive work.
