I know I mentioned this before, but for any knew readers I hope everyone realizes that I am not doing this to feed you but selfishly be feed myself. I love the opportunity to search His scripture and study His message. Many times I come humbled by what I don’t know and walk away amazed at what it pleased Him to reveal. Like all of you I am a child and student in this journey and it is great when I hear from others. With that like I do so often today will be as much of a treat for me as you. We will be reading from J.C. Ryle commentary on these verses. I pray that each of you are blessed and take away what ever God feeds you out of these.
Since I got the day off from writing here I actually toke the opportunity to write on something outside of the Gospel of John. I have two similar articles Preach repentance and Confess your sins. For those others that look forward to this part to avoid my writings at all cost I will include a exert from Martin Luther's New Year’s eve message Putting on
Jhn 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jhn 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Jhn 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
- What was meant by while it was day?
"I must work while it is called today— The saying is one which should be remembered by all professing Christians. The life that we now live in the flesh is our day. Let us take care that we use it well, for the glory of God and the good of our souls. Let us work out our salvation with fear and trembling, while it is called today. There is no work nor labor in the grave, toward which we are all fast hastening. Let us pray, and read, and keep our Sabbaths holy, and hear God's Word, and do good in our generation, like men who never forget that "the night is at hand." Our time is very short. Our daylight will soon be gone. Opportunities once lost can never be retrieved. A second lease of life is granted to no man. Then let us resist procrastination as we would resist the devil. Whatever our hand finds to do, let us do it with our might. The night comes, when no man can work." Bishp Ryle
