Bob Deering said something this morning that I had never thought of in this way. In John 14, when Jesus talks about “greater works you will do…” it might just mean that when all of us – the collective body of Christ – is operating in sharing love, speaking life, praying for healing, performing acts of service and kindness all across globe, that this is greater than when Jesus was doing it by himself. He has passed on this amazing gift for all of us to share! As John Piper puts it, “Jesus’s vision of the greatness of the church consisted in each believer being filled with, and used by, the Holy Spirit.” That’s the greater works – believers across the globe walking out their calling every day for thousands of years. What a privilege we have to be a part of this!
