I think we can say that Jesus did some pretty amazing things while He was on the earth. He went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. He taught about the principles of the kingdom and basically frustrated the religious leaders, because His only agenda was to love and help people. He didn’t care if He healed someone on the Sabbath, or if they didn’t like what He was preaching or teaching about.
John 5:20 says that Jesus only did what God showed Him, and that God would even do greater works than Jesus was doing on the earth. I can remember as a kid asking myself, what could be greater than what Jesus did? After Jesus resurrection and ascension, we can now be born again. We can have a brand new spirit, one that is alive to God. A spirit that can hear and know the voice of God. A spirit that can have the life of God flowing through our veins.
The greatest part of all is that we are now family. God is our Father. He is our protector, our provider, our help in time of need. He is our Friend, our counselor, our guide, and one we can depend on. What can be greater than that! The bonus is that we get a home in heaven when we die. A wonderful life on finite earth, and then a fabulous home in infinite heaven. Sounds pretty great to me!
