John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. When I have been unable to preach through physical pain, I have taken my pen to write, and found much joy in making books for Jesus; and when my hand has been unable to wield the pen, I have wanted to talk about my master to somebody or other, and I have tried to do so. I remember that David Brainerd, when he was very ill, and could not preach to the Indians, was found sitting up in bed, teaching a little Indian boy his letters, that he might read the Bible; and so he said, "If I cannot serve God one way, I will another. I will never leave off this blessed service." (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. |
