Greater works | Fellowship Room
Indeed. What is holding us back from operating in the full authority of He who saved us? Why do we regurgitate these verses but do not embrace its truth?
“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father’” John 14:12.
Wait! Greater works than what Jesus did while He was here on this earth? There’s no doubt that the King of Kings was the servant of servants. He lived servitude: washing feet, touching a leper, raising the dead, multiplying food, curing the sick, teaching the lost, loving the unloved. And then He endured all He did before hanging on a cross for all of us. He is the peak of what a servant should be about.
And yet, He tells us that if we believe in Him not only would we be doing the works that He did but we would do greater works than these. How?
Again, we limit our perspective. We have to open it up by submitting, trusting, and obeying to let God do incredible things through us. After all, His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. Let God do the driving the car of your life and stop grabbing for the wheel. If He can provide eternal life for sinners from His Son’s death, then there’s nothing He won’t do for and through you.
What great works will He do through you if you’re willing to serve?

Boy Soprano
My boy joined the local Children’s Choir sponsored by the city. Being 9, and after singing a few scales, he was determined to be a soprano. This will be an excellent experience and confidence booster for him. ❤ He is the blonde in the blue shirt.
