Introduction: Jesus commends work. In fact he was not lazy; i.e. walked everywhere…it is hot and humid in the Middle East. Our Lord said these words:

“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)

This was uttered from our Lord in the context of His friend Lazarus passing away. What does this mean to us today?

1. It means that what we do for (thru) our Lord Jesus, we need to do it today!

“I must work the works of him that sent me…” (John 9:4)

Our Heavenly Father has a plan for our lives. We choose our work daily. His ultimate will for His children is that we are conformed to His image. This is accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit as we are led and filled. Learning to be about our Father’s business is the key. Do you agree?

2. There is coming a “Night when no man can work”! (John 9:4)

“….the night cometh, when no man can work.”

Jesus will return in the clouds of heaven. Our life will be over on earth. Whether He comes or we go in death, there is coming a night when no man can work.
