Words of Grace – April 14, 2016

When the disciples of Jesus told him that he needed to eat some food, he said unto them, “I have meat to eat that you know not of.” As they wondered what Jesus meant by this, he explained to them:

“My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34).

Later, he added, “I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day.  The night is coming when no man can work” (John 9:4).

The work that the Father sent Jesus to do led him all the way to the cross, where Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30).

Because the night is coming, and the end of the day is near, someone has written the following lines:

“If you have a work to do – do it now!

If you have a witness to give – give it now!

If you have a soul to win – win him now!

If you have a debt to pay – pay it now!

If you have a wrong to right – right it now!

If you have a confession to make – make it now!

If you have a preparation to make – make it now!

IF you have children to train – train them now!”
