Pope Shenouda III
Regarding the Lord's authority over death, the Apostle says that our Savior Jesus Christ "has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light" (2 Tim. 1:10).
The Lord Himself testifies to His authority over death in the Book of Revelation, saying: "I have the keys of Hades and of death" (Rev. 1: 18), and: "If anyone keeps My word he shall never see death" (Jn. 8:51).
