Wed the 28th

John 14: ¹⁰Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

 

 

The Father is living in Christ doing His work. Christ came to fulfill the prophecies and bring us eternal life, the great things He did while He was walking the earth were not just Him, they were His Father fulfilling His plan. This scripture goes on to read:  ¹²I 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. So we are here to continue what God started in His Son. We are to carry out the continuation of His divine plan. The exciting part is that Christ tells His disciples that those who believe will do even greater things that He has done. Now we know that none of us will do anything bigger than what Christ has done by giving us the gift of eternal life, but if we look at the Greek word used : meizon we find that it means larger as in more than previously accomplished. Have we not accomplished just that, more of what Christ started, more forgiveness, more compassion, more love. Has His word not spread across the globe? We have accomplished greater things, but we are far from finished. You have work to do, and so do I. We have to continue to do greater works. We have to continue to reach further, and run faster. The Holy Spirit burns within each of us, urging us forward so that we might run the good race and run to win. You are destined to do great things. Each of us are. If you don’t think you are capable of it, then read the text again…because Christ has died for us, our bounds are limitless. You will do great things, you will continue the works of the Lord. Why? Because just as the Father lives in Christ, so Christ resides in us. Our accomplishments and our words are not ours alone, but they are the accomplishments of the Lord. Don’t tell me great things cannot come from that! We have to realize that we are not just trudging through the day a soul less corps. We are believers in Christ. The Son of God almighty. He has great works to accomplish, and He will work through you to accomplish them. Greater things are to come, and you my fellow Christians are the vessels of the Lord that will carry it out.
