Christ became our Brother in order to help us. Through him our brother has become Christ for us in the power and authority of the commission Christ has given him. Our brother stands before us the sign of the truth and the grace of God. He has been given to us to help us.

When I go to my brother to confess, I am going to God. ↗

He never told me that. ↗
