“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can
work” says Jesus. This statement is made when Jesus is questioned about the cause of a man
born blind. Please note that the man is born blind. Nothing in life happened to cause his
blindness. When question, who sinned his parents or the man, Jesus responds, neither. Many
times the people given to us, by God, to serve, who may have injured us, are those who need to
experience the love of God. They are revealed that the “works of God should be made
manifest.”

We who are strong are called on to bear the infirmities of the weak. Paul reminds us in Romans
15:3 that “even Christ pleased not himself; but…The reproaches of them that reproached thee
fell” on Christ. This idea is further expressed by Paul in Galatians 5:13, 14 when he says “For,
brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but
by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.”

Not to discover the reasons why, we have been commissioned to manifest the works of Christ
while it is day; “the night cometh, when no man can work.” We are to “be ready to do every good
work.” The declaration of Jesus is “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
