Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN
753
In Scripture, we find a host of interrelated images and figures through which
Revelation speaks of the inexhaustible mystery of the Church. the images taken
from the Old Testament are variations on a profound theme: the People of God.
In the New Testament, all these images find a new center because Christ has
become the head of this people, which henceforth is his Body.144 Around
this center are grouped images taken “from the life of the shepherd or
from cultivation of the land, from the art of building or from family life and
marriage.”145
