Burmah Road Gospel Hall Series on The Doctrine of the Church. I. THE “UNIVERSAL” CHURCH A. THE CHURCH – ITS COMPELLATION B. THE CHURCH – ITS CONCEPT 1. ETYMOLOGICALLY – ITS ORIGIN, OCCURRENCES, OCCASIONS. 2. CONSTITUTIONALLY: IT IS A CALLED-OUT ASSEMBLY OF PEOPLE, I COR. 10:32 3. METAPHORICALLY… ?

C. M ETAPHORICALLY REFERRED TO as 1. GOD’S HUSBANDRY.I COR. 3:9B 2. GOD’S BUILDING.I COR. 3:9C, GOD'S TEMPLE.I COR. 3:16, CHRIST'S BODY.I COR. 12:12, 13, CHRIST'S BRIDE. II Cor. 11:2, 3; cf. Eph. 5:25ff D. ESCHATOLOGICALLY 1 It is Mystical – A Building, A Body 2. It is a Mystery.Eph. 3: It was Missed out by OT Prophets. I Pet. 1:10, 11

Conclusion: In Ephesians Paul uses four figures to describe the church and its relationship to the Lord Jesus:  A Body in relation to its Head Who is Christ. Eph. 1:22, 23  A Building in relation to Christ Who is the chief corner stone.Eph. 2:20  A Brotherhood or a family in relation to Christ as Head of the family. Eph. 2:19, NIV cf. Heb. 3:6  A Bride (Wife) in relation to Christ as the Husband.Eph. 5:22, 23 hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone; you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church
