932 Greater Works - John 14:12

How does it make sense that Jesus said we will do 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." John 14:12 ESV   If we believe in Jesus, we will do the works that he does. That's big enough! But Jesus goes on and adds "greater works" too. How is it that we'll do greater works?   Think about how the body of Christ has multiplied. At the moment Jesus said this, it was him and a handful of others. Now, Christ's followers are all over the place. Even conservative numbers are in the hundreds of millions, each doing the works of Christ. Also, we have technology that allows us to share the Gospel online or with people who aren't in the same place or moment of time.   Today, you have at your disposal, everything you need to make an eternal difference in another person's life. You don't have to look past the person in the next cube. You don't have to go on some overseas adventure. God is busy putting his people there. Today you can concentrate on the people you will already see. Will you really see them?   Every person you interact with today is an opportunity. You can even pray for people you don't speak with. Pray for people in traffic, or in line at the airport. Pray for people in line at the coffee shop. Let God direct your moments and idle thoughts and he will use them. He is in the business of multiplying his family. You and I are part of the marketing and operations teams.
