The Scriptures let us know that there are fruitful works and there are unfruitful works, and the Bible warns us to have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness but have everything to do with the fruitful works of Jesus.
The Lord Jesus said in 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 my Father.” Here he talked about us doing greater works, and if you have observed the Scriptures closely, before He said these words, He had been talking about the works that He was doing. The works of the Lord Jesus were preaching and teaching the gospel of the Kingdom, healing people of their sickness and disease, casting out devils, raising the dead and performing all manner of miracles. This means that everyone who believes in Christ Jesus is entitled to do the same things Jesus did while He walked the face of the earth and live the same kind of life that He lived.
Jesus went about His Father’s business, which was to restore lost mankind to the right relationship with God. This is the kind of work I’m talking about. Now, not only did He say we will do the same things He did, He took it further when He said, “greater works than these shall he (you) do; because I go to my Father.” Now, if we’re involved with the kind of works Jesus did, the same glory, honour, peace, prosperity and power that went with Him then will go with us today.
