Greater Works
Jesus said, “… the ruler of this world approaches; He has no power over me.” Our Lord declared absolute authority over Satan, and He conveys that same absolute authority to believers—in His Name, through the work of His Spirit.
Jesus also said that the world does not recognize and is not even looking for the Spirit of God, but a disciple bases everything on the Spirit’s work: “He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
Knowing that we have authority, our recognition and acceptance of that authority is critical. Those who observed Jesus’s ministry knew that His works and words were with authority—sometimes offensive to the mind but consistently revealing the heart.
We have His authority: “Anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done and even greater works…”
Amen.
