Night is Coming

“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4)

There is urgency about life. Jesus, the Son of God, knew that He had a limited time to do the work on earth His Father had given Him to do.

The psalmist said, “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”  (Psalm 90:12) 

Jesus knew how short his time was. But, you and I do not know about tomorrow or if there will be a tomorrow. A hymn from the past said, “Work for the night is coming.”

We have but a short time here to make preparation for an endless eternity.
