Greater Works
“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. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” –John 14:12-17
God wants to transform our lives, enabling us to embody Jesus for the world.
“Whoever believes in me … will do … greater works …”
How is that possible?
The Bible records 40 miracles
John tells us that there were many more (John 20:30)
Jesus’ public ministry was inside a 175-mile radius from His birthplace
During His lifetime Europe, Asia, Africa, North American, South America did not receive the “good news.”
How?
Greater in reach, not in power
Why?
“… because I am going to the Father … and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever …” –John 14:12, 16
It is through the Holy Spirit that the disciples, both then and now, have the power to spread the message of Jesus, which continues to spread today.
Jesus is saying …
If you believe
You will be given a Helper
You are not alone
A Helper to transform you and help you to embody Jesus
To spread the “good news”
To show the greatest miracle of salvation
This is why we want to have a Global Impact.
