This is a companion piece to “Greater Things” – “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.” (Luke 12:48, AMP) I interpret this verse to mean that to those of us who know that the Lord has […]
“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe [Me] because of the [very] works themselves [which you have witnessed]. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do
