“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 (KJV)
Commentary on John 9:4
'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.' Jesus expresses urgency. His 'day' of earthly ministry is limited; 'night' (death, arrest, end of public ministry) approaches. While opportunity exists, He must work. This models faithful stewardship of time. 'The works of him that sent me' emphasizes mission consciousness. Jesus worked with deadline awareness.
