The Body of Christ Jesus - The Church Pt. 2

The Body of Jesus Christ - The Church #2Lyall Johnston—July 5, 2025

Transcript

Join Lyall Johnston in this insightful video, "The Church #2," as he explores the profound significance of the Body of Christ within God’s overarching plan for humanity. Drawing from Matthew 16:18, Mr. Johnston highlights Jesus’ promise to build and protect His Church, a foundational truth established in 30 AD and built upon the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself as the chief cornerstone.

Lyall emphasizes that the Church, purchased with Christ's own blood, continues to exist and flourish today, nearly 2,000 years later. He unpacks powerful scriptures, including Acts 20:28, where Paul speaks to elders about feeding the Church of God, and Hebrews 10:5, revealing God the Father’s preparation of a body for Christ—both His physical sacrifice and the spiritual body of the Church. Mr. Johnston emphasizes that understanding the Church's history necessitates returning to the Holy Scriptures, rather than relying solely on human records that often diverge from divine truth.

Further into the discussion, Lyall Johnston explores Colossians 1, illustrating Christ's preeminence as the image of the invisible God and the Head of the Body, the Church. He connects this to the immense power God has made available to believers, transforming lives and preparing them for a glorious existence. The video also touches upon God's harvest festivals in Exodus, revealing how the Wave Sheaf Offering (representing Christ) and the Feast of Firstfruits (representing the resurrection of the saints and the Church) are beautiful pictures of God’s redemptive plan. Lyall concludes by reiterating that the importance of Jesus Christ’s physical body and His spiritual body, the Church, are integral to God's plan for mankind, as revealed in the Sabbath and Holy Days
