the appointment of Peter as head of the church, jesus entrusted the church to the apostles and pentecost.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the area where Jesus Christ was entombed for three days before He rose from the dead.
In the Bible, the book of Acts Chapter 21 verse 17: The third time he (Jesus) said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep." By these words Jesus both forgave Peter for his three denial of Him and told Peter to "Feed His sheep" or in other word "to take care of the church". Jesus chose Peter to care for His church.
Peter denied Jesus three times, Judas betrayed Jesus, and they all ran away.
I suppose one of the big things about it is that Jesus knew that Peter would deny that he even knew Him (not even just one, but three times), and Jesus still loved Peter enough to make Peter the rock of the church.
the opstlr says about jesus
God Himself sustains His Church. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church; and united with the Father and the Holy Spirit, all three Persons of the Blessed Trinity enliven and sustain the Church.
The church recognizes the three stages of tradition by which the life and teaching of Jesus Christ have come down to us the three stages are WORD OF MOUTH ,RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES ,INSPIRED WRITING .
All the apostles do agree that Jesus was born and died for us and rose again.
We exercise our priesthood when we participate in the offering of the holy eucharist in the church..it is one of Jesus' three fold mission. == ==
Whitewashed tombs, brood of vipers, hypocrites.
