The Night is coming where no man will be able to do the work of Jesus

John 9:4 - "As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work."

Darkness is coming over the earth. Now is the time to shine our brightest because there will be a time when we will no longer be able do the work of the Lord. He could be referring to the coming of Christ and His judgment on the earth. Yet, I believe he is speaking of the persecution of the church. When we the church will not be able to work in the open.

The light of Christ will never be diminished, but the freedom to do the work of Christ will be diminished. A look over history shows us how time and time again governments and people have tried to snuff out the Gospel. Even though man has failed to do this, it doesn't negate the fact believers have gone under ground in many countries.

I am glad that Haiti has freedom of religion even more then the United States, but let us not become lazy in our witness and work for the night is coming. It is now as we see night approaching that we must give our all to the work of the Lord.

Hebrews 10:25 - "not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

As night approaches, and Christ coming is approaching, we need each other more then ever. Even though for a time believers being hindered from coming together, it must only be for a time. We must as the church not except this to be the new normal.
