“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19)
we never forget the mechanisms that Jesus Christ, the Savior, established on earth for mankind’s salvation. Early in his public ministry, Jesus chose twelve men to be with him and to share in his mission. He made them partners in His power. He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. They are associated with the Kingdom of Christ forever. Because through them He leads the church:
Jesus gives power to the apostles, just as the heavenly Father commanded the kingdom of Jesus. It is for them to eat, drink, and sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel in Jesus’ kingdom (cf: Luke 22: 29-30).
Simeon Peter was the first of the twelve. As a result of the revelation from the Father, Peter confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then He said to Him, “You are Peter; on this rock, I will set My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Christ, who is active, guarantees victory over the forces of death to his church built on Peter.
Jesus gave Peter special authority. “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The ‘authority of keys’ is the authority to govern the house of God, which is the church. After his resurrection, Jesus, the only Savior and Savior of the world, confirmed Peter’s authority and told Peter: “Feed my sheep.”
‘Power to bind and unravel’ refers to the power to set people free from sin, make proclamations of faith and take disciplinary action in the church. It is through the ministry of the apostles, and especially the ministry of Peter, that Jesus has entrusted this authority to the church. He has given the keys of the kingdom to Pathos alone.
Jesus gave Peter the keys of the Kingdom of God for mankind Glasses “was looking for the” complete salvation to show the true man of God, through anthropology. Christ, the Savior of the world, inaugurated the kingdom of heaven on earth. The church is the seed and sanity of this country.
The church travels with every believer from the moment a baby is born to the earth, to the moment his body is presented to God for resurrection on the day of judgment. Therefore, entering the kingdom of heaven is not something that a person cannot even contemplate, except through the church. Let us pray for all the people of this world to take the hand of the Church Mother and follow Jesus, the way, and the truth.
