Good Morning!
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father. -John 14:12
As followers of Jesus we are called to live as Jesus did and do as Jesus did. The verse above says that whoever believes in Him as Savior will do the things that He did. And, it says that we will do even greater things than these! I believe the greater things are in reference to the church as a body, and as the body we are able to reach more people, do more good deeds, help more people because of what Christ did for us. In order for that all to happen Jesus had to be killed and then raised from the dead and then ascended into Heaven in order to release the Holy Spirit for us to be able to walk out what He started. Salvation and the Holy Spirit are a free gift, have we accepted that free gift and are we making the most of that gift? Go do as Jesus did.
“Jesus loved the outcast, known sinner, troubled, broken hearted, lost, hard to love. Love as Jesus did.”
“To become Christ-like is the only thing in the whole world worth caring for, the thing before which every ambition of man is folly and all lower achievement vain.” -Henry Drummond
Dad Joke of the Day:
My teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in the future there will be autocorrect.
And for that I am eternally grapefruit.
Have a great Monday!
