1 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And

His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in

him. 4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night

is coming when no one can work.(John 9)

While It Is Day!

There is also a limited time for us to do what can be and

must be done!

Living In Time• Live godly now - Titus 2:11-14

11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live

soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave

Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify

for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

(Titus 2)

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such

a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen

tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little

time and then vanishes away.

15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your

arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is

sin.(James 4)

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the

heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt

with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned

up.

11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of

persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day

of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent

heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a

new earth in which righteousness dwells.

(2 Peter 3)

Each one has enough time to do all that God requires, to choose Jesus

and live for the one who died for us; to prepare for eternity!

your own pleasure?

While it is day, while you still have time won’t you believe in Christ and

obey Him and be saved?

He is waiting for you to come!
