I believe Jesus did have successors but they were chosen leaders like Prophets, they weren't normal people, I believe either Simon Peter or James the Just got that initial succession. I believe the former is favoured by hadiths while the latter is favoured by Quran (by the talk of the family of Imran, and James possibly being a cousin of Jesus). The Church is full of normal people.
Normal people don't have authority like Prophets do. Chosen successors of Prophets who possess the authority of God do so because they been chosen by God and exalted like Moses, like Abraham, Isaac, etc and because they have clear proof of their authority.
