Have the  teachings and commandments of  the Lord Jesus Christ been lost or have  they reached us? It is far  fetched to believe that they have been lost  since they are so important.  How did they reach us then? With the  exception of the  Apostle Paul who  was not one of the eleven Apostles  and did not attend the meetings of  the Lord with His Apostles after His  resurrection, the eleven Apostles  with whom the Lord spent forty days  after His resurrection, wrote too  little and what they wrote does not  comprise all the Christian  teachings. There is one explanation and it  is that the  Lord Jesus  Christ's teachings to His Apostles have reached  us through Tradition,  that is, through the Apostolic Entrustment.
