JESUS’ CONCERN FOR THE CHURCH
The Lord Jesus was always about His Father’s business.
The main business of the Heavenly Father in the world today is the Church.
Let us consider how the Lord Jesus was concerned and loved the Church.
The Lord Jesus was concerned about the purchase of the Church.
Christ purchased it by giving Himself:
24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.
He gave up his life for her.
24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.
He gave up his life for her.
26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.
He purchased the Church by shedding His precious blood for it:
“So guard yourselves and God’s people.
Feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his own blood—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.
28“So guard yourselves and God’s people.
Feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his own blood—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.
The Lord Jesus was concerned about the foundation of the Church.
Jesus is the sure foundation:
Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder.
Now others are building on it.
But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone:
Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets.
And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
20Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets.
And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
Jesus is the stone from Zion:
Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look!
I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.
16Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look!
I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.
The Lord Jesus is concerned about the endurance of the Church.
The Church is built on stable pillars:
In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers.
They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.
9In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers.
They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.
The Church is built on the ground of truth:
So that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God.
This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
15so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God.
This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
The Church is built so that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it:
Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
18Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
The Lord Jesus is concerned about the care of the Church.
The Apostle Paul recognized the importance of caring for the Church:
4He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.
5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
6 A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.
5For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
6 A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.
6A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.
Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.
28Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.
The minister of the Gospel is to take care of the Church:
He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.
5 or if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
6 A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.

The members have been set in the Church:
17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear?
Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?
18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.
19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part!

The members do not have the same offices:
3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are.
Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body.
We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
