The fundamental question in ecclesiology is that of the relationship between the church and the kingdom of God. The answers—historical and theological—have wavered between those who want to keep the two isolated and those who want to make the two identical. This article proposes a christological connection between church and kingdom via two texts (Eph 1:20–23 and 1 Cor 15:22–25) that share similar phrasing and agendas.
