The present Christ is the constitutive factor of the church. The church is determined by the present Christ, called by him into life and maintained by him. This characterizes the church also as a waiting church.9 pagesPDFAfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaSystematic theologyJesus ChristTheologyChurchArticle
