Thread: A question on Christian Scripture.

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Why are we waiting for this to happen still? or does it happen a lot that I just font know?

I think that I understand what you are getting at in regards to steps, practices, & guidelines to overcome from being a "baby" to growing spiritually to a "mentor". I think it's actually a good question that we should ask ourselves. More than likely many of us would say that we haven't been a servant as we should have. I haven't. We have allowed other priorities to consume what little time we seem to have in a day. I will have to say that I think things are a little more complicated with our daily life compared to 1k-2k years ago. We are given that "free will" and it's up to you and I to feed our holy spirit and become the men we should be.
