We all think . . . we know a lot of things.

How do you interpret:

“These and Greater things shall you [believers] do!”
. . . . —Jesus The Christ

In context, Jesus was speaking directly to the disciples, and for the Apostolic era when the Church was being established, and not to every believer as asserted.

However, lets run a simple test.

I assume you are a "believer".

How many paralytics have you healed?

How many dead people have you raised to life, particularly like Lazarus who had been dead for 4 days?

How many blind people have you restored their sight to?

How many people with withered hands have you made straight?

How many times have you fed crowds of over 5,000 with just a few fish and a couple of small loaves of bread?

Please pardon me, I forgot a couple.

How many lepers have you cured of leprosy?

How many sliced off ears have you miraculously re-attached?

If you are not doing the things I've just cited, which are on even par with Jesus and not greater, then why aren't you since you are to do greater things?
