About a Father of Repentant and his Responsibility
(Part 3)👇
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave the holy apostles the authority of the priesthood to bind and loose, a subtle and heavenly authority. It is the power given to them by the Holy Spirit to bring people to heaven or to prevent them from heaven.
This means that when God Jesus Christ, who has all authority, chose and appointed the 12 apostles and 72 apostles from among the world, people who committed sins and committed wrongdoing came to the apostles and repented of their sins and confessed their sins.
It means that those who do not repent of their wrongdoing and do not turn back from their wrongdoing will be punished with the death of their souls and various spiritual plagues.
Our Lord says to the priests in his Gospel, "You are the light of the world" Matthew 5-14, because they are the ones who lead us to the Kingdom of God through repentance, and who lead us to the kingdom of God, and lead us to live in virtue, hating sin.
May God give us a heart of repentance.
