02/10/2025 – Doing the Works of Christ
Scriptures: John 14: 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
1 Thessalonians 1: 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,
Reflection: One of the most amazing promises from our Lord Jesus Christ is the assurance that we will do the works that He did. His works are the most amazing ever performed. He healed the sick, raised the dead and demonstrated command over the wind and the waves. How can you fulfill this promise in your life?
Our Lord Jesus has completed His part! His going to the Father would in no way leave us powerless- on the contrary, He would send another helper who would dwell with us and in us and will motivate and empower us to do the works of God.
Are you doing the works of God? To realize this promise in our lives, we must first understand what these works are. Christ’s motivation for all His works was love. Every healing, every sermon was delivered in the power of the Spirit and in the mercy of God. We have been filled with the same Spirit and we are empowered to believe, to love and to have hope. These are the works God has prepared for us to do.
