LUKE 22:53

 "Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me.  But this is your hour - when darkness reigns." - Luke 22:53

That is true.  How come they had to come get You at night while You were in a garden?  If they wanted to question You, why not just bring You in when You were at the temple?  They didn't need any one to tell who You were.  You were at the temple all the time.  Maybe it was kind of like me with junk food and pop - if nobody sees you do it, it's like it didn't even happen.  Again, everything points to them deep down knowing that You were who You said You were.  I can see a ton of reasons why they wouldn't admit it or why someone wouldn't stand up to the rest of the chief priests, but I just hope that I don't do that any more.

I guess part of the reason was that darkness got what, like a half a day.  For that twelve hour period, darkness was in control.  But, for every other hour after that - light wins!  I think it's important to remember that.  No matter what it seems like - darkness has already had it's hour.  Sure, there have been times when darkness has won again.  More times than we all wish.  But, darkness gets it's hour, or twelve hours or maybe even a year or two.  But, the light wins!  And the light has a lot more hours than darkness does.
