"Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father." John 14:2
It's good to study the stories of Jesus' marvelous life and glean lessons
for our own.... But in fascination with the details of his life and ways,
we might miss marvels of the life he has given us.
We do not step over
our own lives in order to follow Jesus: following Jesus means
living our own particular lives.
Paula D'Arcy says, "God comes to us disguised as our life."
Our "greater works" will be from our own hands and
feet and voice, shared with our own friends and enemies, expressed
through our own specific personality and embodied way.
