What does Jesus mean by working the works of God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus refers to fulfilling His divine mission to redeem humanity while He is in the world.

In John 9:4, Jesus states, 'I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.' This is a proclamation of His commitment to fulfilling the divine mission entrusted to Him by the Father. The 'works' encompass His ministry of preaching, healing, and ultimately laying down His life as a sacrifice for sin. The urgency in His words reflects the limited time He had on earth, emphasizing the importance of salvation work being completed before His crucifixion. This concept serves as a reminder to Christians of our own calling to share the Gospel and do good works in our limited time.
