"...even greater things"...John 14:1-14

So just what is Jesus saying here? Greater than what? Greater than whom? And what are these things anyway? Miracles? Successes? Advancement?

One thing is for certain. If we want to see and experience the 'greater' things it means we can't sit around. There is action called for. Greater things involve doing things in the first place. But it is not just about acts of faith either.

Sometimes we just simply have to get ourselves off our collective backsides and get stuck into the work or task at hand. Sometimes we have to get out of the easy chair and break away from the TV and move into action. Sometimes we have to take a risk, step outside our personal comfort zone. Sometimes we need to lift ourselves out of the rut we have dug for ourselves.

Jesus has called us into relationship with him for 'greater' things than our personal comfort and salvation.
