The Greater Works of Jesus* Disciples & & ^ How His Promise Has Been Realized Through the Operation of the Holy SptoC. 6*rmon *y th« "Highway and Byway** Preacher. tn jntht 190y by J. M. Ed** u. Chicago. Sunday. Sept. 13. 1903. Text:—“Verily, v*r:.y, I fav unto > au, he that believe th on Me. the work* that I «!o el all he do a.so; and greater works than these shall he do; because 1 go unto liy Father "-Jchn 14:12. TAN DING on the ' threshold of the litter agony of the 1 garden, and the j « ruel death on the , cross, and with the , marvelous minis try of something over three years behind Him. Jesus utters the thrilUug and start ling words of our text: | "Verily, verily, 1 • > say unto you. He that believelh ou Me. the works that 1 do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because 1 go unto My Father." Greater works! Even the faith of Peter must have staggered at that. Even John, who understood his Lord so well, must have been perplexed and troubled. Greater works! There swiftly pass before the vision of the disciples the scenes of tri umph of that ministry. The multitudes leathered in the streets of Capernaum. The sick, the crippled, the demon-pos sessed are brought and He “healed them every one." Again and again did th*y witness His hand stretched forth to heal. The company of weeping friends is gathered before the tomb of Lazarus. ! He has been dead three days, but Jesus bids hlin come forth and he obeys the summons, and the home at Bethany Is changed from one of sorrow to a happy, rejoicing one. Twice they beheld the vast multitudes gathered out on the mountain side and taw the few loaves and fishes multiply under the touch of Jesus until mere than f>,000 are fed and large quantities of feud remain. They heard Him during those three years preaching and teaching. The truth of God was unfolded. The hypocrisies and false teachings of Scribes and Pharisees were laid bare. The seeker after truth was always satisfied, the critic was al ways answered. So marvelous ami dear and scriptural were the teachings that it was declared that never man spake as this man. The marvelously great works ol Jesus, and yet as a parting message to His disciples He tells them that they eliall l>e permitted to perform greater works. Greater works! HAD we been present with that little group of disciples in that upper room on the last night before His cru cifixion and heard the words of our text fall from Jesus' lips we might have been staggered by them and failed utterly to understand their meaning. Our faith would hardly have carried us to the sublime heights of Divine triumph in their fulfillment, but with 19 centuries of triumph and glory of the Gospel, with the marvelous work of the early church aa related by Luke in the book of (be Acts, we muFt exclaim: "Behold, what God hath wrought!" Read the book of Acts and you must admit that what Jesus declared should be the fruitage of His disciples’ ministry was literally ful filled in the mighty 'Operation of the Holy Spirit through them, first at Je rusalem, then Judea and Samaria, and then to the uttermost part of the earth. These words need no explanation ex cept that which i6 furnished by the story of the growth and spread of the Gospel after the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost up to the present day. Jesus meant, 1 believe, just what lie said. His words need no interpre ter except hearing ears, seeing eyes and heart's that will understand. The open ing non fence of the Acts is significant. Luke is writing after the disciples have gone everywhere preaching the Word, after Paul's mighty triumphs in the Gospel in Asia and Europe, and looking back cm it all and contrasting it with the results <of Jesus' ministry which he rc rordfd in one of flu- G<r*|K']s, lie says: "The former treatise have I made « Theophilus, of all that Jesus began U.th to i.n and teach, until the day in whb h He wuv. taken up." And on that day He enconragt d the disciples with this prom ts* Ve shall receive power, after that the Hoty Ghost is coma upon you.*’ T,,E <ccon(1 chapter amfoW* tbe 1 wuxlerful fulfill men t of hns yrrom Ire wh»n on the day of Renters t»,e Holy KphJt deaernded and tilled them eo tliat Hi* y all began to prcelajj,, n>f tJo-<Fl.l m**eage And altnongh thev wen- m<elly un* ducat*d OaJIWa®*. th.y apeak* m nil the different u,m,w.« id the MM1. rhe multitnde* were • amazed and marveled.

And following this alter the miiltitudea hare gathered Peler «tanda up and preaches and S.Otxi •oula ar#» converted, more l»j one day after one germon than Jesus bad been able to wltf during the whole three feara of Hi** .ministry. But that was only the leginrt.ng A few daya after ward the heaiing*.band of Ood operatey iLrougb Peter aiuf vJohn ► and the Jj/t «£ * ■* w_ > V long cripple at the beautiful gate leaps and walks and praises God. and soon the great area of Solomon's porch is crowded with people to whom Peter at once preaches Christ Jesus and Him rucified. and 5. COO men are converted. The women are not mention*d. but if they outnumbered the inen in that early day in their acceptance of the Gospel as they do to-day there must have been about 15,000 women con verted. too. besides children. But leaviug the women out of the reckon ing and counting only the men what a tremendous it gathering! Jesus fed 5,000 men beside women and children, but Peter, through the Holy Spirit, is able to feed 5.000 men with the bread of life and win them for Christ and eternity. Greater works! Then fol- 1 low the days of mighty mirat les which far outnumbered those which J*sus performed. BUT what In our thought constitutes greater works? Do we consider the miracles—the healing, the raising of the dead, the feeding of the multi tudes, the nets tilled with fishes—as the greatest fruits of JeFtts' miuiFtry. and must there be a larger realization of such miracles in the service and ministry of Jesus' disciples to-day in order that we may feel that Jesus' promise has been fulfilled? Is there not a tendency always to associate with the thought of greater works the healing of the sick, the giving sight to the blind, the raising of the dead? So often do we hear the mournful regret expressed that the disciples to-day i have not the gift of healing so that the preaching of the Gospel might he at tended by mighty works of the Spirit which would bear visible testimony | to the power of God. The “greater ; works" has come almost to be a synonym for miracles, as though God , dealing with the physical was greater | than God dealing with the spiritual. As a rule 1 am inclined to believe that tht , longing and unrest for another day of miracles such as ushered In the birth of the apostolic church is rather an evidence of unbelief than of faith. It is that old weakness of the natural man which desires to see. "Seeing is believing.” Is tfce thought which un consciously sways the heart. The lical ing of the sick, the raising «>t the dead, what glorious and indisputable testi mony they would be to the world! Tints we think and reason, and almost believe that God is short-sighted and careless in not pouring out His gift of healing upon the church to-day. Greater works, or iu other words, miracles. BUT are miracles greater works? Did Jesus so consider them? Why was His heart heavy, why was He sad. when the multitude had been healed at Capernaum and the 5.000 led in the wilderness? Was it not because there waH not the greater work of the crea tion of a uew heart through faith in Him? “Ye must be born again.” was Jesus' message to Nicodemus. and the miracle of the new birth was a greater work than that of physical healing, or bringing to life again the dead body, j even though the latter were more wonderful to the natural eye of man. That Jesus forgave the sins of the man sick of the palsy before He raised him tip to health and strength is signifi cant. The greatest need of that man was not n healed body for this life, although his case was so pitiable and his need so great, but it was a cleansed and redeemed soul which would live with God throughout the eternities. This ■ Jesus gave to him first. If was a greater work. It is evident from Jesus* first words to the man—“Ron, be of good cheer; thy sins he forgiven thee”—that the man was troubled more by his sin-sick soul than he was by his disease-racked body. Jesus saw deeper than the physical, and because the man himself realized his greater need. Jesus at once met that need and gave forgiveness and salvation. Then came the healing ns a secondary work, “that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins.” The miracles were proof of His Divinity. The continuation of the mira les through the early years of the church was for the purpose r#f link Ing the Christ before the cross with the risen and ascended Christ and es tablishing the Divinely-ordered way of salvation. That which Jesus began to do. Mis disciples continued to more gloriously and fully do after He had ascended and the Holy Spirit had descended upon them. Rut a greater work than the speaking with tongues was the raising from the deadness In sin let newness of life in Christ Jesus of 3.000 souls. A greater work than the* healing of the lame man at the Reautiful Gate was the healing’ of r,.00o Fin-sick souls which followed. A mira cle might cause the world to pause and wonder, but a soul cleansed In Jesus*; blood and given life In Him 1s able to . set all Heaven to rejoicing Think i of ft! \ >n eonsider.’ng the greater J / \ works whV-h Jesus' disciple* ar„ «0 <1o in fulfillment of His promise we must not forget that although the dls rlples of Christ may do greater works than their Master, yet His. and His nlone. Is the enaldlrfg power. “With out Me ye ran do nothing." was His positive declaration utjered at the oime time that He gaveMhe promise and prophecy of our te»t> See how i I'eter on the day of Pentecoa* r«cog- i * - — . . . . V nlied this and publicly declared It He told the multitudes that toe speaking with tougues was the fulfillment of Old Teslanlent prophecy where God declared that "in the last days I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh ” When the impotent man was healed and the pet-pie ran together to see the wonderful thing which had happened. Peter immediately said: “Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us. as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to . . . for faith in Jesus- name hath made this man strong." The declaration in the clos ing verse of Mark s Gospel is signifi cant and suggestive: “And they (the disciples) went forth, and preached everywhere. THE LORD WORKING WITH THEM AND CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOW ING." rl'HE reason the disciples were to do i great*r works titan their Master is made clear by the closing words of our teat. “Because I go unto My Father." The return ol Jesus to Heaven was proof of three glorious facts: Jesus* triumph; God’s acceptance, and man's deliver ance. Jesus triumphed over sin and death; God anepted the sacrifice of His well-beloved Sen for the sin of the world, and man was delivered from the consequent'*s of sin. being cleansed and redeemed by Jesus’ blood and made ac ceptable to God in the righteousness of Christ. And the return of Jesus to Heaven was the reason His disciples were to bt enabled to do greater works than lie had performed. While here in this world in bodily form Jesus was bound by certain limitations. Eat His going to Heaven made it possible for God to send the Holy Spirit to be every where present in the hearts of the be lievers und to be all-powerful. If Jesus had remained in the world to carry on His work lie could have been in but one place at one time, but through the Holy Spirit who is sent to represent Him in the world Jesus is able to go every where with His disciples (reaching the Word, and bringing dead souls to life. How marvelous it all Is! Greater works than Jesus could do while on earth because the channels through which He .could pour His power have multiplied through the years and multitudes have b««n raised from death to life. Greater works! A Peter at Jerusalem; a Philip at Samaria; a Barnabas at Antioch; a Paul in Asia and Europe; a Luther in Germany; a John Knox In Scotland; a Wesley in England; a Moody in Anierl. ca. and within the lust year the most re markable world-wide evangelistic tour of Mr. Torrey und Mr. Alexander with their over .”>0,000 converts. Australia, the center of the great revival move ment. was turned into one vast choir singing the Gospel hymns, and praising God for the mighty works of saving grace which were wrought on every hand. Greater works, surely! HOW’ may the promise of Jesus find Its realization in and through us? 1 believe this promise is for the Chris tian of to-day. for you and me. Greater works, because Jesus js in Heaven di recting the greatest conflict of the ages against sin. and because the Holy Spirit is present in the world and the command to the believer is ’ be filled with the Spirit.” All the rich, full and wonderful promises of the New Testament are for us and are to be fulfilled in us. Greater works, but perhaps not a duplication of the works of the early church, except In the winning of souls to Christ. W hat is there in connection with this text which troubles the Christian, and makes him question whether Its promise may he realized in him? Is it not because the thought has been centered upon the material rather than the spiritual? Is It not because the Christian has come to exalt the power of God upon the physical above the power of God upon the dead and sin-blackened soul? Jesus declared to those who were seeking for a fign that no sign should be given them. And the Christians to day w ho are seek ing for a sign in the miraculous as a tes timony to the world when no such tes timony is needed will be disappointed. 'I'HE greatest miracle is a trans 1 formed life. The greatest teFii mouy for Christ Is the life redeemed and sanctified. Instead of sighing and praying: “Lord, I»id, where are the greater works? L’o something won derful through me.” w* ought to rejoice in a Christ powerful to save, aril pray that we might permit Him to so live In our hearts and shine forth in our lives as to win others to Him. Were we per mitted to perform miracles we might draw the multitudes and Impress them with our (lower, but It would not win them for Christ. We nmy have »fce presence of Jesus in our lives though so as to win some soul for Chlr:»t.
