“I Must Work – Part 1”
Monday, December 16, 2024Key Verse
“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
Text — John 9:1-5
Message
God did the work of creation for six days and then rested on the seventh day. After creating Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God commanded them to dress the garden and to keep it. After the fall of man through sin, God still “… sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.” (Genesis 3:23)
When the Lord Jesus came into the world, He worked, though He had the power to command all things to happen. He even helped His earthly parents in their work. This means that being engaged in one work or the other is necessary in life. The work we do depends on our age and our skill. Children are to work according to their age and ability. There are great benefits in engaging in profitable work. Do not be a lazy child. Follow the example of Jesus and work while you are young and energetic. You will reap great blessings.
