Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do. “I tell you the truth, 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 14:11-12
I don't know about you, but my faith feels pretty small when I read this verse. You and I are going to do even Greater Works than what Jesus has done. I can't hardly imagine it but today I'm going to take God's word at face value, like always, and I'm going to trust that Jesus is telling us the truth; that if we believe in Him we will do the same works Jesus has done and even greater works. Still in my weak faith, I sometimes start looking at the first part and assume that I can do same work that he did but Greater Works than Jesus? It truly blows my mind, but I believe it because God's word says it and I believe that things can happen that we can't imagine because we are Jesus hands and feet. My professors used to say it's like incarnational ministry. We are Jesus with skin on to the world around us and that world is getting much darker and needs the bright light of Christ.
My encouragement today comes from John 14:11-12. Just believe that Jesus is in the Father and the f=Father is in Jesus. If you can't muster up that big belief then just believe because of the works you have seen Jesus do in your life or other people's lives. Here's the truth, anyone who believes in Jesus will do the same works he has done and even greater works because he is going to be with the father.
