Are you doing greater things than Jesus?

" I tell you the truth anyone who has faith in me, will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the father." John, 14:12

     In a day and age when believers do not want to miss out on all God has for them we are wondering where are all the miraculous signs and wonders that the apostles and Jesus did ...today? After all we are going to do greater things than Christ did, right? 

     What could be greater than raising someone from the dead but raising two people from the dead? Christ did that. What could be greater than feeding 4000 but 5000? Christ did that. What could be greater than walking on stormy waves but to tell the storms to stop. Christ did that. No, the only thing Christ didn’t do was to raise the spiritually dead to life until he went to the father, was glorified, and then sent the Holy Spirit to Earth  

       That is why he would do miracles and each time the disciples would wonder "what manner of man is this"? That’s why after he would feed the multitudes, the next day, they would wonder where they would get food. This is why he would clearly tell the disciples three times that he would be handed over, put to death and raised from the tomb on the third day, and when it happened, they were all dumbfounded . 

      What can we do today greater than Christ? We can actually share the gospel and in front of our own eyes because of the Holy Spirit, we can see the spiritually dead come to life. That is why Paul said in Philemon," I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."

 Have you raised anyone from the dead lately?
