We are not building New Jerusalem, Jesus went to prepare that place for us. We may be (hopefully) lively stones, but that does not mean our works are only how many other people we fish into the kingdom. Some watered, some sowed, some gathered, etc etc. Our works are what we do, not other people. Yes, His command was to preach the gospel, so hopefully people will have done that and have persuaded many others. You don't get to say that just because we are referred to as stones in one passage, that whenever the word work is used it means something to do with a stone!
