Doing The Works of Jesus

Feb 8, 2026    Brian Offutt

Jesus promises that every believer will do the works he did and even greater works. These works aren't limited to miracles but include the full scope of Christ's ministry: caring for the hurting, serving others, forgiving enemies, feeding the hungry, and proclaiming the gospel. The greater works refer to our ability to preach the complete message of salvation through Christ's finished work on the cross. When Jesus says we can ask for anything in his name, he means whatever we need to advance God's kingdom and do his works. Our lives should reflect Christ so clearly that others are pointed toward faith through our words and actions.
