 "question": "What are the seven figures in the Bible for Christ and the Church?",
 "answer": "Seven New Testament pictures show the intimacy and unity of Christ and His Church: the Shepherd and the sheep; the Vine and the branches; the Chief Cornerstone and the stones of the building; the High Priest and the priests; the Head and the Body; the Last Adam and the new creation; and the Bridegroom and the Bride. Each one reinforces that fellowship with Christ alone satisfies the soul, and that all believers are irrevocably joined to Him and to one another.",
