Jesus taught that His Body is to "be one" (John 17-21).
Signs and wonders in the life of the Church (also, "Bride") are seen as evidence that the gospel has been fully preached (Romans 15:18,19).
This is the pattern modeled by Jesus who preached and taught and then healed the sick and delivered the oppressed (Matthew 4:23)
It was the pattern of the early Church (Acts 4:14-31)
And is the pattern for today (Mark 16:19,20)
