The Night Cometh

 

Two weeks ago, Pastor Jamie mentioned Sir Walter Scott, the famous Scottish poet.  In Scott’s garden is an old sundial with this simple inscription, “The Night Cometh.”  Scott’s quote are the words of Jesus found in John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”  Jesus was reminding the disciples that He had only a few days on earth to do the Father’s will.  Hey, Do you realize that you will not live forever?  Do you realize that your time is limited?  So today, take the time to do the things that you need to do before you pass on into eternity.  Say those things to your loved ones that you do not want to be left unsaid.  Make amends before it is too late to make those amends.  Hey, do it now!  Do it today, because … “the night cometh.”
