A little boy prays hard for a baby brother—and stops when he gets tired of waiting. Nine months later his mom comes home with twins. "Aren't you glad you prayed?" his parents ask. His answer: "Yes, but aren't you glad I quit when I did?" Davey tells that story while unpacking one of Jesus' boldest promises in the upper room, that His disciples will do even greater works than He did. Philip wants proof—show us the Father, he says—and Jesus' response becomes one of the clearest statements of His deity in all of Scripture. Davey also tackles the prayer verse everyone misquotes: does "ask anything in my name" really mean what people think it means?
