Final answer:
According to Ephesians 4, church leaders should focus on developing maturity in the body of Christ, and according to Erik Erikson's stages, older people struggle with overcoming despair to achieve integrity.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Ephesians 4, the goal of church leaders should be to develop maturity in the body of Christ. This passage emphasizes the importance of unity and growth of the church members into a mature faith, embodying the fullness of Jesus Christ. Leaders are tasked with equipping the members for service and building up the church until all reach unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God. The correct option that completes the statement in the question is option b) Develop maturity in the body of Christ.
In the context of Erik Erikson's developmental stages of life, the challenge older people must struggle with is a) Overcoming despair to achieve integrity. This stage reflects on life and the sense of fulfillment or regret that may accompany it. It suggests that achieving a sense of integrity means feeling at peace with the life one has lived, whereas despair arises from the feeling of wasted opportunity and unachieved goals.
