John 9:4-5 (New International Version)
“As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
These words of Jesus speak to the brevity of His first coming. Yet His mortal life contained the Incarnate Son. The illumination of that dwelling was marked by the life of God. When He entered Creation, He abandoned heaven for the constraints of space and time, but the light of His revelation and beauty He brought with Him.
Our time on this earth is measured. We only have the present to choose to be a part of the work of God. This means accepting His work in and through us. Not just thinking about it, but doing and living as Christ. Night is coming.
