“Greater Works than These” was a Promise to the Apostles Together and Victory is Promised to the Church Together

The promises of victory, of spiritual gifts, and of works greater than those Jesus did, were not made to us individually, but as members of a functioning Body.

His work is done, and our oneness is a present, completed truth that should influence all of our conduct.
