“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
The “works” in this verse mean miraculous works that glorify God. This verse encapsulates the purpose of this website. This website is a collection of truly amazing miracles from my life that are the result of learning to hear from God, which are meant to provide proof of God and hopefully draw people to Him.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
Works Mean Miracles
When Jesus spoke of his followers doing “greater works” than him, he was referring to miracles. The following verse from Acts 2:22 makes it clear that when Jesus and the apostles talked about ‘works,’ they meant miracles:
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.” (Acts 2:22 ESV)
In this verse, the term ‘mighty works’ is translated from the Greek word ‘dunamis,’ which specifically denotes miracle-working power.
Works are meant to provide evidence of God.
The purpose of the works that Jesus did was to reveal Our Father so that the lost would know that there is indeed a God in heaven. Miracles, signs, and wonders, are all gifts of grace sent by God to help people to turn to God. For the same reason, God intended for all of His people to be vessels through which He could work.
In the context of Matthew 5:16, where Jesus encourages us to let our light shine through good works, the ‘light’ symbolizes God working through us. We are the lamp and God is the bulb or light. By allowing God to work through our lives, we are, in essence, letting Him shine forth, and when He does a mighty work, it brings Him glory and men KNOW our Father is in heaven.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Jesus was our example. What he did, we can also do – and greater works also – because we have the same miracle-working power in us! The examples from my life prove that this is true. Believers are intended to be vessels through which God’s grace and miracle-working power are manifested. The connection between good works and glorifying the Father in the verse above, emphasizes the idea that the works we do should serve as a visible demonstration of God’s presence and love, drawing others to Him.
Toward that end, this website is full of “works”, documented miracles, brought about by God throughout the last twenty-plus years of my life. This website is a testimony to the existence of God through documented evidence.
