ESSAY
DIRECTIONS: Answer concisely but comprehensively the question. Make a schematic diagram or
framework which will serve as your guide in your discussion. A framework is required!

1. Do you think that Jesus is happy with the way the institutional Church is administered and managed
today? Why? (15 pts.)

JESUS
HOLY SPIRIT
(I WILL BE WITH YOU UNTIL THE
(THE GUIDE OF THE CHURCH)
END OF TIME)

CHURCH

As Jesus founded the Church, he promised to be always with us until the End of times. Also, he
promised that he would send the Holy Spirit as our guide. With these, I think Jesus is happy with the
church today even though that sometimes we are a sinful church. Christ knows that His bride will
rise again each time of her fall.

2. Do you believe that Jesus' presence in the world is perpetual because of the Church? Why? (15 pts.)
 CHURCH WORLD
JESUS

As Jesus promised that He will be with the Church until the end of times, this gives us the message
that the Church will give Christ presence to the world. As the church lives there is Christ. In every
heart of all people that is Baptized there is Christ.

3. Why is it that despite persecution, the early Church continues to expand? (10 pts)

FAITH AND STRENGTH

Early Church

Eternal life

The early Church maintains the guarantee of the Ruler that he will not take off them until the
conclusion of time. That guarantee gives the early Church their quality and confidence to confront the
abuse. The passing of the Christians makes them a living witness to Christ's guarantee of Interminable
Life. Their blood got to be the seed of the church and it makes the church succeed and grow.
