John 14:12 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 14:12

Believers will continue Jesus’ mission after he goes to the Father. “Greater works” is disputed and may concern the mission’s reach or Spirit-empowered ministry; it never guarantees a child miracles or power.

Memory phrase: Continue Jesus’ work

Talk about it: What might continuing Jesus’ work look like without expecting miracles?

Prayer: Jesus, help me listen carefully to your words.
