How do we know Christ is greater than His ministers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is greater than His ministers as He alone baptizes with the Holy Spirit and can change the hearts of individuals.

The distinction between Christ and His ministers is made clear through John the Baptist's declaration: 'I indeed baptize you with water; He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.' While ministers can administer outward ordinances, they lack the divine authority to transform hearts or impart spiritual life. Only Christ, as the Head of the Church, possesses the power to effect true regeneration through the Holy Spirit. Thus, it is crucial for believers to seek a personal experience of Christ's grace and ensure their faith is anchored in Him, who alone can provide salvation and spiritual renewal.
