Verse from John

“趁着白昼，我们必须作那差我来者的工；黑夜一到，就没有人能作工了。”

‭‭约翰福音‬ ‭9:4‬ ‭

“We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.”

‭‭John‬ ‭9:4‬ ‭

In John’s account of the man born blind, Jesus’ disciples were trying to determine “who sinned” (9:2). Jesus briefly addressed their question by saying, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned . . . but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me” (vv. 3–4). 

Though our work is very different from Jesus’ miracles, no matter how we give of ourselves, we’re to do so with a ready and loving spirit. 

Whether through our time, resources, or actions, our goal is that the works of God might be displayed.

For God so loved the world that He gave. In turn, let’s give while we live.
