Today I saw a picture of a Catherine Wheel, a dramatically spinning firework shooting out hundreds of brightly coloured sparks. This seems like a sequel to us being a ray of light extending from Jesus. We can be dramatic for Jesus as one united body, not vying for individual attention and merit. Not long before He was crucified Jesus said, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father" (John 14:12). Why is this? Because, as His Body, we cover a greater geographical distance and over a longer time than Jesus's ministry on earth. With the Holy Spirit empowering us we can extend Jesus's work. Do we believe and trust Jesus's words on this and do we want to?
