The body of Christ resembles the tabernacle in the Old Testament where God met people. God was in Christ and declared himself to people in the form of a man, in which all divinity was present.
Mwili wa Kristo, yaani kanisa lake, sasa limewekwa badala ya hema ya kuabudia katika Agano la Kale ambapo Mungu alikuwa anakutana na watu wake.
