Zoposa izi (Greater Than These) Lyrics

English translation

In John 14:12, Jesus promises whoever believes in Him

Will also do the works that He did

And even "greater works than these" because He was going to the Father

What did Jesus mean by these words?

For instance, we know Jesus raised the dead and walked on water

Does it mean we're going to raise more corpses than Him?

Or walk on water more often than Jesus did?

How should we interpret this verse?

First, bear in mind that this promise is for all believers

Just as the assurance of eternal life goes to anyone who believes in Jesus

Similarly, every believer is promised to do greater works that Jesus

Second, what did Christ do?

According to John 14:11, Jesus performed miracles

That proved He was the Son of God

Therefore, what Jesus is saying here is that every believer will do works

That will point back to Him as the Son of God, the savior of His people

However, these works are not simply signs and wonders

We have to remember that the Bible does not contract itself

It's clear from 1 Corinthians 12:29-30 that we don't all possess gifts of healing

Nor gifts to work miracles

For that reason, the works greater than these to be performed by Christians

Could be anything that God may choose to use in the life of believers

To the praise of His name as God

Matthew 5: 16 says "In the same way

Let your light shine before others

So that they may see your good works

And give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Third, Jesus promises that whoever believes in Him

Will also do "greater works than these" because He's going to the Father

The picture here is Christ's death, resurrection, ascension into heaven

And the sending of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost

Therefore, what Christ is saying to every believer is that

His accomplishment of the work of redemption on the cross

Death, resurrection, Ascension into heaven, and the sending of the Holy Spirit

Define the greatness of our time today

For us, we look back at the finished work of salvation of Christ on the Cross

Whereas before He died, rose, ascended to heaven, and sent the Holy Spirit

They were looking forward to the hope of

His finished work of salvation on the Cross

This verse is not teaching every Christian has to perform miracles

Who among us ever multiplied food for a crowd?
