Course UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST: Preparing the way of the Lord for Christ’s return

Christ’s Church has played the role of proclaiming salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ (1Peter 1.19) as well as teaching those who accept such truth to become disciples of Christ. However, when it comes to living in the unity of the Body and persevering in the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4.3,4), the Church is failing and turning a blind eye.The Pentecost, unlike the Babel Tower, marked the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for making the Church into only one Body. However, our spiritual fathers of the past split up right after that (1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 3:1-6) and have not stopped ever since.In the 20th Century, known as the “Century of the Holy Spirit”, there was a new Pentecosts, whose aim was to lead the Church to persevere in the unity of the Spirit. There were attempts, mind you, to unite ‘black and white brethren in a single service’. However, the Church has failed. Contrarily to the first Pentecost, there have been so many divisions in the Church that today it is estimated there are around 50 thousand Christian denominations across the world.Where are we failing? As the Holy Spirit speaks to the Church, He has certainly revealed where we have failed and what we should do to go back to the ‘first love.’The goal of this course you have in your hands is to help the Church to take concrete steps towards resuming the unity of the Body, based on the Word and on God’s power, so that the paths may be straightened for Jesus’ return.This Course’s main theme is the development of the Bride, who is unprepared and unorganized, up to the point she becomes the Glorious Bride, the Bride prepared for the Lamb’s Wedding Party.This course comprises 12 lessons for 12 gatherings, which can be developed in four different formats. For such, the organizers were careful to develop the methodology that is introduced in the very first pages of this book.
