Ecclesia Zip Track Jacket

We are the "Church" Jesus uses the Greek word ἐκκλησία (ekklēsia or ecclesia in Latin), usually translated “church” or “assembly,” in the New Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew: 1. Matthew 16:18 “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church (ἐκκλησία), and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” What He was saying: Jesus is describing the future community of His followers. The word ekklēsia in Greek didn’t originally mean a building—it meant a called-out assembly or gathering of people. Here, He’s saying He will establish a lasting community centered on Himself, one that will endure even against death (“gates of Hades”).   Size Chart XS S M L XL 2XL inch inch inch inch inch inch Chest 20.7  21.5  22.2  23.0  23.8  24.6  Length 26.0  26.8  27.6  28.3  29.1  29.9  Sleeve length 30.7  31.3  31.9  32.5  33.1  33.7  gid://shopify/Product/7826187616307
