1. Preaching of the Kingdom

-continue after the founding of the Church
-new mode of god's salvation being offered to humanity

(see Christology Notes for KINGDOM OF GOD)

-church as people of God - does it mean the same as Israel?
- the church is the new, final people of God
- the covenant is no longer sealed in the blood of goats and calf but already in the bllod of Christ

- the Church tasks is to continue the proclamation of the Kingdom
- a kingdom of truth and life, holiness and grace, justice , love and peace

God's active presence is wider than the church

WORLD - KINGDOM - CHURCH

The world is a greater reality and yet not all people in the world are part of the kingdom, or their life is not centered in God's communion in their life (we have freedom). The church - can have many people who belong and do not belong to it

/* kosuke Koyana
- our theology is always limited
-we canot capture all of theology, or God in theology (water buffalo theology)
- only a stammering epression of the full reality of God (statering theology)
