"Greater works . . .," he said,
. . . meaning us?
Can we venture on a rising ground
and feed five thousand hearts? Where is the bread
and fish prepared on modest kitchen table?
Even a child in Sunday School enjoys
his daily share of love, and he is able
to live the Christ that others might be fed.
He has a place in "greater works than these."
Today's discipleship must play its part,
take the broken bread to hungering heart—
the Word explained, not in abstract form,
but living in its tenderness, and warm
enough to turn the violent from their wrath
or bring the wandering pilgrims to the path
of true supply, destroying huddled fear
and giving them the understanding cheer
that meets their needs.
