Jesus’s entire mission on earth was to lead us into his own divine life. In no way does Jesus want us to know less or do less than he himself knows or does. We are called to be like him, and to do the things he did. Indeed, Jesus said, “whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these . . .” (John 14:12 NIV). Jesus wants our whole being to be where he is, our deepest identity to be grounded in his, and our spiritual life to be in sync with his, so that we can live our lives as he lived his—fully in God.
