Bible Question:
What are the greater deeds (works) that Jesus speaks of in John 14:12, and how is this related to his going to the Father? NASB John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." |
Bible Answer: 11 "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake." What works is Jesus speaking of? What 'works' did He do? Since in context He is not merely saying we will 'do works' but is specifically saying we will do the 'works' He did and greater works. What would make, as example, blind eyes open greater than Jesus opening blind eyes? Spreading the Gospel throughout the world for millions of blind eyes to be opened. Taking His message and His Spirit and spreading it throughout the world like wildfire! God bless |
