Paragraph 2. THE CHURCH – PEOPLE OF GOD, BODY OF CHRIST, TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
786
Finally, the People of God shares in the royal office of Christ. He exercises
his kingship by drawing all men to himself through his death and
Resurrection.211 Christ, King and Lord of the universe, made himself
the servant of all, for he came “not to be served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many.”212 For the Christian,
“to reign is to serve him,” particularly when serving “the poor
and the suffering, in whom the Church recognizes the image of her poor and suffering
founder.”213 The People of God fulfills its royal dignity by a
life in keeping with its vocation to serve with Christ.
