Episode notes
Church As Christ's Body
- Scripture presents the Church as Christ's body and bride, forming a one-flesh union with him.

- Jesus intends to gather "other sheep" into one flock under one shepherd.
- That language implies a visible, united people of God rather than only an invisible assembly.
