Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
D.L. MOODY
I used to stumble over that verse, but the longer I live, the more I am convinced it is a greater thing to influence a man whose will is set against God, to have that will broken and brought into subjection to God’s will—or, in other words, it is a greater thing to have power over a living, sinning, God-hating man, than to quicken the dead. He who could create a world could speak a dead man into life; but I think the greatest miracle this world has ever seen was the miracle at Pentecost. The men who surrounded the apostles were full of prejudice, full of malice, full of bitterness, their hands, as it were, dripping with the blood of the Son of God; and yet an unlettered man, a man whom they detested and hated, stood up and preached the gospel. And three thousand of
them were immediately convicted and converted and became disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The greatest miracle God ever performed was for your salvation. The same God who created physical light by a single word is the One who created the moral and spiritual light within us. Salvation is more than a miracle of power, it’s a miracle of cleansing, new birth, love, and grace. God overcame the moral and spiritual barrier between Him and us in order to save us.
Today, the church is doing greater miracles by the Holy Spirit being poured into believers around the world. Jesus’ miracles were confined to Israel, but now the saving gospel is spreading around the world.
Let us personally claim this verse even as we witness to the power of Christ in our lives).
PRAYER
Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who enables us to continue Christ’s work on Earth. Help me to see how I am a part of a worldwide movement spreading the miracle of the gospel each day.REFLECTION QUESTIONS
