The Kingdom of God is Christ
KofG on Earth is the Church, through the Spirit.
St. Paul writes the Chuch is the Body of Christ.
Many Parts, One Body
Two dimensions of Union
1. Vertical-
Through Christ we receive grace
Christ is central to achristianity
Vine - we unite to him
2. Horizontal-
All parts united
Same mission, different paths
Spokes on a wheel
3 States of the Church
Church Triumphant- Heaven
Church Pilgrim/Militant- Earth
Church Suffering- Purgatory
