John.2:22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Have you as a student of the bible noted the demarcation of understanding the apostles of Christ had, while Christ was in the flesh upon earth in teaching them, compared to when he was raised in the Spirit? Yes, it is stunning, and dramatic, a difference from darkness into light, from thick headed to scholars of the scriptures, from men of fleshly thinking, into pillars in support of the truth.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

From years of intimate association with Christ, first hand, to people who themselves converted someone to a Christianity in just a few days of less! What indeed happen? They were doing greater works than Christ if you really understand, but how? Christ is the light of this world, but that light is not known by man's will, it must come from above by God's will through Holy Spirit to be known, in this Holy Spirit, is found the truth, and that is what happen?

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."

The apostle of Christ received from above the Holy Spirit they were no longer taught by a person (Christ) having Holy Spirit, but they themselves were anointed with Holy Spirit indwelling them teaching them the truth. Now they did greater works than Christ. but how? Here we stumble upon the stumbling block for those still in their flesh, being taught by some person. or their bibles having Holy Spirit. They think the act of Christ doing miracles is the works they must match in doing greater works than Christ. In other words, a competition, to prove they are a Christian's but that is not the greater of more powerful works his disciple were entrusted with!

Acts 2:33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The greater works are simply Christ while on earth did not give a person Holy Spirit anointing them into a child of God, they must wait God's timing, even though they had years of bible training they could not make disciples with Holy Spirit, why? Because Christ had not yet died being resurrected into heaven so the Holy Spirit could be poured out upon his disciples. But his disciple after Christ death could make disciple by the power of God's Holy Spirit doing immediately doing greater works than Christ performed upon earth, greater than John the Baptist every done on earth for mankind and what was that?

John 7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

It was a rebirth from one creation into a new creation under the Sun, the birth of a child of God by Spirit, never done before or understood by flesh and blood. Here is the greater works done as Christ told his disciple they would do, not a few anointed, but many profound and everlasting miracles of son ship for Jews and Gentiles alike in making discipline immediately as son's of God by Holy Spirit. Yes, here is why we see such a profound demarcation of light and darkness upon the outpouring of Holy Spirit going from men of flesh fighting with each other, men of flesh, living in fear and judgment towards each other, and even the Christ to the most beautiful foundation every laid upon earth the living stones of apostles of the new Jerusalem above.

1 Corinthians 3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

1 Peter 2:5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:19 The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire{or, lapis lazuli}; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
