It was also how Jesus could promise what might seem impossible, “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 NIV). During his earthly life, Jesus’s presence was localized to his physical body. He experienced our frustration of being only in one place at one time. But now that he dwells within his disciples by his Spirit, his ministry—his power through his people—is multiplied exponentially.
