Upper Room Discourse (Part 3)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the recurring themes in the Upper Room Discourse in John 14-17, including the promise that believers will do greater works than Jesus, a concept that is difficult to understand and interpret. While some individuals, such as John Wimber and Reinhardt Bonke, may hold the status of apostleship due to their ability to perform signs and wonders, the promise of greater works may have been primarily applicable to the apostles as a confirmation of their apostolic credential in the early church. The use of "in Jesus' name" in prayer is meant to be an act of authority on behalf of Jesus for his interests, and prayer is a labor that involves promoting God's interests and purposes.
