The Lord Jesus endowed his community with a structure that will remain until
the Kingdom is fully achieved. Before all else there is the choice of the
Twelve with Peter as their head.¹⁶⁸ Representing the twelve tribes of
Israel, they are the foundation stones of the new Jerusalem.¹⁶⁹ The
Twelve and the other disciples share in Christ’s mission and his power, but
also in his lot.¹⁷⁰ By all his actions, Christ prepares and builds his
Church.
