Once again I have bee reflecting on these words again thinking about the greater works Jesus' is talking about. Have you seen any greater works recently? How would you describe them and what would they look like? I think these greater works are works that the "Church" is doing right now in urban areas, in churches, and in the lives of His people. For example:
Last week 3 of us in my home congregation had major surgeries; a heart by-pass and valve repair, Trigeminal Neuralgia neurosurgery and a total knee replacement. Any one of these operations could have had debilitating results or life ending results instead prayers began descending the heavenward before the scheduled dates, on the day and every day since. God has done a great work all of us had good outcomes, we are recovering one-day-at-a-time with successes and set backs.
The journeys each of us have been on have varied in length and yet the church has been amid the curves, valleys, swamps, and hills regardless if skies have been blue or grey someone has reached out with a word or a card or email or visit. The chruch body has been there with meals, cards, flowers, visits, laundry help, no bake cookies and cupcakes.
Greater works, yes they are happening in the church we just have to open the "eyes of our hearts" and see them. Because they are there in all of God's glory and goodness.
