Władza Jezusa nad życiem i śmiercią

Abstract

The topic expressed in the title is explained throughout the artide in three aspects which correspond to the main points. The first one is the issue of the source of the authority of Jesus. Just as the Father gives to Jesus the mission of salvation, He likewise empowers Him with the authority to complete this task. Another point is the uniqueness of the authority of Jesus. He alone has the power to govern not only the life and death of all humanity, but also His own. It is accomplished through the Resurrection. The final aspect of our reflection is the delegation of Jesus' authority over life and death to his disciples, who are sent by Him to continue His mission. This authority and mission originated by the Father, continues through Jesus in the community of his believers.
