The Works of Jesus
Text: John 14: 12
THE WORKS OF JESUS
The works of Jesus are marvellous to read in the Gospels. A careful study of His works would help us deepen our appreciation of the Lord Jesus and also deepen our faith in Him.
“Most assuredly, 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 My Father. ”
John 14:12
1. “Most assuredly, I say to you”
a. Once again, Jesus seeks to give firm assurance
b. What He is saying is absolutely true
2. “He who believes in Me”
a. Our faith in Jesus must be ascertained
b. It would be unwise to assume faith
3. “The works that I do”
a. Some works were ordinary ones
i. Teaching
ii. Preaching
b. Some works, of course, were miraculous
i. These were special works
ii. The Father was working in Jesus to perform these miracles
4. “He will do also”
a. We can do the works of the Lord Jesus too (Non-miraculous work)
b. What a privilege to serve the Lord
5. “And greater works than these he will do”
a. Not in terms of quality
b. But in terms of quantity
c. We can go to other countries, for example
6. “Because I go to My Father”
a. The Lord Jesus must of course provide for our atonement through His death on the cross
b. Then He will return to His Father in Heaven
