John 14:12 — “Greater Works”

Which is greater the tree or the fruit? Some might say the tree because it produces year after year.  But without the fruit, the tree cannot be greater. So the greater is the fruit.

Jesus said we would do greater works. Of course, these greater works are done by the Father and Son in the Holy Spirit. The Father is seen in the Son through words and works. The Father and Son are seen in us through words and works empowered by the Spirit.

Which is the greater feat, to see God acting like God successfully acts on his own in his body (the body of Jesus) or to see God successfully act through human beings? God acting like God acts through human beings is the greater work because He must win our cooperation and work through our weaknesses.
