Wellemina,

I won't add to the reply that Joe supplied, with thanks to Wm. Hendriksen, but what I would like to do is to have you meditate on the following verse, which I believe is similar but goes even beyond that which the "least in the kingdom" is exalted in the Lukan passage:

John 14:12 (ASV) "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 the Father."

Here, a believer (no designation as to gifts, etc.) will do greater works than even the Lord Christ Himself. That simply boggles my mind. Yet, who among us would dare challenge the verity of it?

In His Grace,
