At a Bible study recently, a person was sharing from a message they heard - the point that stood out to him was that compared to the physical miracles Jesus did during his time on this earth, salvation of an eternal soul is greater than any of them.

Later the same week, I heard the song, “My Testimony” by Elevation Worship, and it made me think of his comments.

I saw Satan fall like lightning

I saw darkness run for cover

But the miracle that I just can't get over

My name is registered in heaven

I believe in signs and wonders

I have resurrection power

Still the miracle that I just can't get over

My name is registered in heaven

My praise belongs to you forever

This is my testimony from death to life

Cause grace rewrote my story, I'll testify

By Jesus Christ the Righteous

I'm justified

This is my testimony

To have your name registered in heaven is a true miracle. It is a miracle that we sometimes take for granted by living comfortably and being unfocused in our calling to make disciples.

Jesus said that his disciples would do greater works than He did.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14 ESV

Do you believe that God wants to use you to do great things for His kingdom? And if you do, does that change how you live? When we have received so much love and mercy - it should make us eager to respond and share that with others.

May this be a week of seeing him at work in mighty ways!
