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. The old naturalists, who tell us a good many things which are not true, as well as some which are, say that the birds of Norway always fly more swiftly than any others, because the summer days are so short, and therefore they have so much to do in such a little time. Surely we should fly more swiftly to do our Lord's work if we would only meditate upon the fact that the day is so short, and that the night is so near at hand. (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. |
