False dominionist teachers claim that if Christians become unified we will do greater miracles than Jesus did. In this episode we examine John 14:12-13 to show what Jesus meant by “greater works than these.” We show that God can and does work miracles for His glory, and that the purpose is to bring people to saving faith and give glory to God. God is always the one who determines when and in what context to do His mighty works. That He would continue to do them through believers, even after Christ’s ascension, is the meaning of John 14:12a. Rather than teaching that an elite group of latter-day apostles will do greater miracles than Jesus if they are unified, this passage assures us that God will keep His promises as we preach the gospel to a lost and dying world.
