Encouraging Scripture-We are capable of great things

This passage is, to me, one of the most amazing in the Bible.  Jesus is talking to His disciples telling them they will accomplish greater things than Him.  That must have seemed hard to believe at the time, yet before they had all passed on the Gospel message was well on its way to being spread across much of known civilization at that time.  We are all capable of great things, probably greater than we can conceive.  After all, Jesus' disciples were very ordinary men but look at what they accomplished after Jesus' resurrection! 

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

John 14:12 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
