The Corporeal Christ: Christ Manifested in the Flesh Today Ronald E Cottle

All genuine Christian ministry derives both its authority and its authenticity from a single Source-Jesus Christ. He is the founder of our faith and the foundation on which our faith is established. Apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). All authority belongs to Him (Matthew 28:18). T herefore, the ekklesia (New Testament word for Church) is corporeal. It lives as the physical, tangible, living expression of Christ. Christ's real presence on earth is accomplished in and through His ekklesia, the Church. The ekklesia is not only God's redeemed people on earth; it is the actuality of Christ working in and through His people. Redeemed humanity has become the human agency through which Jesus releases His life, His mission and ministry to the world. Defining who Jesus is and the way He established the functionality of His body is key to understanding ekklesia. Join Dr. Ron Cottle on this fascinating journey to discover how the body of Christ is intended to function in the world today!
