GREATER THINGS
Today's reading: John 13-15
"The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father." John 14:12 NLT
I love what my Bible commentary says about this verse...
Jesus is not saying that his disciples would do greater works--after all, raising the dead is about as amazing as you can get. Rather, the disciples, working in the power of the Holy Spirit, would carry the Good News of God's Kingdom out of Palestine and into the whole world.
Isn't it exciting to know that God has entrusted us with spreading the news about Jesus?
Where we are.
To whom we interact.
With the skill set He has given us.
When we are so full of Him that we cannot help but burst.
Knowing we have inside our imperfect selves the answer to all that ails the world.
It's making me ask myself this morning--Am I doing greater things? Have I carried 'the baton' in this race?
