The statement of Jesus to his disciples was clear: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). But Jesus also said: “You will do the things that I do and you will do even greater things” (John 14:12).

Both of these statements are significant for us. First, it’s important to live in the reality of total dependence on Christ. If we begin to think we can do things on our own, we are in great danger. Our lives must be lived in total dependence on Jesus. 

Second, we are to do the works Jesus did while on the earth. But He said we are to do even greater things (of the type of works Jesus did). So there is no limit to how God can use us when we live and work in total dependence on Christ. What a privilege!
