Jesus knew His disciples needed power...for the kingdom to expand while the Jews were under Roman oppression, in the face of great persecution, with common, ordinary, unschooled, uneducated, sketchy men...yeah, Jesus knew that they were going to need some power.  The world is in need of a legislative church! Jesus said, I will build my church. Please notice that He says the way you know it is My church is that hell is not prevailing against it. The way we can know if our church is His church is...hell is losing and we’re winning.
