Jesus told his disciples that He was going to go to the Father and that He was going to send His Holy Spirit and that they would be able to do greater works than He did. We often read that verse and think that the verse if for the spiritual elites. We cannot see ourselves healing the sick, raising the dead, and multiplying food, so we dismiss this verse.
We don't consider that one of our posts on Facebook might get someone on a new search for answers. We don't consider our listening ear and our love could stop a person from committing suicide. We don't realise that turning only one person from error is a great thing. We don't consider that our effect in a person's life could be integral to them being set free. We don't consider a small part that we do could be a greater work.
I knew and apostle once that was a powerful teacher. I said to him that one day I would be doing some things better then him. He laughed with me and wished me well. Today I have articles that are read by thousands of people per month and thousands of videos that are watched per month. Today I am reaching thousands and what I shared with him has come to pass. It is possible to have a great effect on people on this earth. God, through His Holy Spirit can move on you, and you too can do greater works than Jesus did! Even turning one sinner from eternal death to eternal life is a great thing. Jesus wants us all going forward and affecting change in this world, day by day, and maybe one day we might look back and see that even we have done greater works than Jesus did!
