Are you willing to share in the glory of Jesus Christ?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:
1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
It is so crucial that we be all the more engaged and attentive to the Truths that we have heard so that we do not drift off course. We must not allow ourselves to become lukewarm as was the case with the church at Laodicea in Revelation chapter 3.
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
Paul and others confirm The Word of THE LORD.
4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
We too should bear witness!
10 For it was fitting for Him, for Whom are all things and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
In other words, for now He towers above all creation, for all things exist through Him and for Him. And that God made Jesus, pioneer of our salvation, perfect through His sufferings, for this is how He brings many sons and daughters to share in His glory.
11 For both He Who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Jesus, the Holy One, makes us Holy. And as Sons and Daughters, we now belong to His same Father, so He is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce us as His brothers and sisters!
Jesus is the older Brother, and we are the younger members of the Family of the Same Father. We were conceived by the same Spirit, we are energized by the same Divine Life of GOD, and we are now qualified through the Holy Spirit to perform the same blessed ministry.
16 For it is clear that He didn’t do this for the angels, but for all the sons and daughters of Abraham.
17 This is why He had to be a man and take hold of our humanity in every way. He made us His brothers and sisters and became our merciful and faithful King-Priest before God; as the One who removed our sins to make us One with Him.
18 He suffered and endured every test and temptation, so that he can help us every time we pass through the ordeals of life.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
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.”
If Jesus expected us to do “greater works”, we should expect it as well. What is preventing us from doing greater works? Our mindset is and has been the limiting factor. Peter finally understood this after Jesus spent 40 days teaching him and the other disciples. Paul also understood this Truth which allowed the following to manifest in Acts chapter 19:
11 Now God worked (extraordinary and) unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
If miracles occurred at the hands of Paul, why not you and me?
