Pictures of the Church
The Church is a mystery, so Scripture uses many pictures to describe her (CCC 753-757). Each image shows one truth clearly, and no single image says everything.
Explore the idea
Select an image, then choose what it teaches. After matching, ask: what does each picture NOT show well?

Discuss the connection
Choose one image and name something it does NOT show well about the Church. Which other image fills in that gap? This is how analogies work: each one points to the truth, and none of them captures all of it.
An original interactive exercise for Faith & Life Grade 8, Chapter 1 (“Christ’s Abiding Presence”). Grounded in Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
