12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
John 14:12-17
Q & A：
- How would you respond to Jesus’ remark where the harvest is plentiful but laborers are few? Who did Jesus minister to during the 3-year ministry on earth and share where can you see as the harvest field of the Great Commission that is within your reach? (John 14:12-17; Luke 4:18; Mark 16:15-18)
- What is the role of the fivefold ministry and who is God mobilizing to spread the gospel and to do the work of the ministry, especially in the marketplace? How can we do what Jesus did on earth or greater works today? (John 14:12; 2 Cor 5:20; Eph 4:11-12; John 14:16-17)
- What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit and discuss how God distributes them to the believers and if we get to choose what we want? How can we minister on behalf of God to the people around us, and discuss how you can do likewise to take time off your busy schedule to help others by taking the Good Samaritan as an example? (Eph 4:7-8; 1 Cor 12:4-7)
