Greater Works than These (Part 2) – Critical Issues Commentary

We continue our discussion of John 14:12-13. This passage was meant to bring comfort to the disciples as Jesus prepared for His departure. It was not that they were going to be greater than Jesus and do greater miracles than Him, but that God was going to be with them and do greater works through believers in general. God’s purposes would continue after Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus was promising His disciples a place with Him in heaven, ongoing access to Him through prayer, and a continuance of His mighty works.
We also show that the miracles in Scripture point to Christ. There are many claims of miracles, but a miracle from God will point to the truth of the gospel and will bring glory to God. God’s miracles are not dependent on us or our faith, but God is glorified in using His people to accomplish His purposes.
