hillsbororiver:
Great topic Kat and all very interesting responses as well,

This verse came to mind when I was going through this thread;

Joh 21:25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Kat wrote;

John 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.

The greater works now, is through Christ in us, He raises to spiritual life.

Exactly, this also opens up the truth behind this verse;

Mat 11:11  Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

I remember when Ray mentioned that Jesus did not convert anyone during His earthly ministry it was like a ton of bricks fell on me, I thought, impossible, no way, then it began to open up and I realized that the timid 12 became the emboldened brigade armed with His Spirit only after His death and resurrection, Pentecost, etc.

The things (Spiritual gifts) available to those who come after the Resurrection far, even infinitely exceed what was given previously to those who came (and went) before.

His Peace and Wisdom to you;

Joe
