A New Heaven & A New Earth

June 26th – Based on a sermon on June 23rd by Les Kovacs

Here are some questions that may challenge you to deepen your understanding of the Consummation of the Body of Christ:

How does the concept of the Consummation of the Body of Christ influence your understanding of the end times and the final judgment?
How does the Eucharist (Holy Communion) relate to the Consummation of the Body of Christ, and what does this sacrament signify about the unity and final destiny of believers?
In what ways does the metaphor of the Church as the Body of Christ shape your understanding of Christian community and its ultimate fulfillment?
How does the belief in the Consummation of the Body of Christ affect your view of Jesus’ role as the mediator between God and humanity?
How might the belief in the Consummation of the Body of Christ influence your daily lives and practices?
How can Christians explain the concept of the Consummation of the Body of Christ to people of other faiths, or even of no particular faith?

I hope these questions encourage you to dive into a deeper exploration and understanding of this profound theological concept. Do any of these questions resonate with you or spark further curiosity?

This blog is written by Rev. Merv Lanctot, based on his sermon preached on June 9 on the Body's Fellowship - "Koinonia":

1) What do you think fellowship (Koinonia) means to us at St Aidan's?

2) Why do you think Paul was concerned with the fellowship found in the Corinthian Church?

3) What is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit?

4) What does the fellowship with the Holy Spirit involve?

Read: 2 Corinthians 5: 18 – 6: 2

What is the “Ministry of Reconciliation”? Who is being reconciled to who?
What does it mean to be an Ambassador of Christ? From where is Paul getting this analogy?
How is the ministry of reconciliation possible?
Why should we have urgency in proclaiming this offer of reconciliation?
How do you proclaim the Gospel in your words, actions, attitudes and lifestyle?
How do you share the love and mercy of Jesus Christ with your family and friends?
Have you ever thanked God for the privilege and gift of being a part of this ministry?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you that we are reconciled to You to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ and a citizen of Your kingdom. Thank you for the wonderful gift and privilege it is to be a part of your ministry of reconciliation. May your Spirit fill us with understanding and empower us to accomplish what God has assigned us to do for His glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
