Unified in Christ
The Church as it is described in the New Testament, is a group of people who are unified in Christ. While each church building here on Earth may have a different sign on the door that reads Baptist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, or Lutheran, the capital-C Church will not have any sign.
The Ministry of Christ
The ministry of Christ covers many avenues. Christ ministered to the sick, the poor, those in need of food and comfort, those with ill children and those who needed help in their walk with the Lord. By calling the small children to himself, he showed us how we must be to enter heaven. By telling short stories, called parables, he was able to use his ministry to teach in a way that even people lacking in formal education could understand. He often focused on those at the margins of society, and healed them, and showed them compassion. In this way, he was able to teach others to have compassion on their neighbors.
The Return of Christ
The return of Christ, also referred to as the Second Coming of Christ, is when Jesus Christ will return to Earth from the right hand of God. At that time it is believed that the dead will be resurrected and everyone will be judged. There are many references in the Bible to the last judgment day as well as many views and interpretations of what the return of Christ will entail.
