Throughout His earthly ministry Jesus set patterns and examples for our own service. In this case Jesus was referring to the blind man and God receiving the glory. He said that the time was soon coming when no man could work, so He had to do the work now. The work was pressing, it was vital; it had to be done while He had the opportunity.
Jesus knew that His ultimate purpose was to go to the cross and die for our sins. He had a work to do for His Father and He knew His time was limited. Jesus taught us that as the Father sent Him, so He sends us out to do the work for Him.
We don’t know how long we really have to do the work He calls us to do. It is just as vital that we do the work that He sent us to do while we have the opportunity. The time is coming when we will do be able to do the work. We need to grab the chances while we can.
