WORK WHILE IT IS YET DAY

The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?" Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
John 11:8‭-‬10 ESV

¶Jesus answers His disciples' legitimate fear of stoning if they return to Bethany in Judea. He is protected, not by strength or strategy, but by the mission. Like Abraham, He believed that what God had promised, He would fulfill. As the day provides the hours of light needed to do the work, Jesus moves within the time allotted to Him working the works of Him who sent Him, untouched by fear. But wait, there's more! Even after the day, in the darkness, He is the Light of the world, carrying us through to endless day.
