Not their activities, enthusiasms, organizations, enterprises, creeds, "churches," orthodoxy, etc., but HIMSELF." Strange how intolerable this is to mankind, that simply can't bear to have it be simple enough that it is just about Jesus. We just "have to" get our hands on the whole thing, and define our significance by the systems we create within our religious spheres of influence. Jesus is enough! Knowing Him intimately within my brothers and sisters, in uncomplicated ways, is sufficient a definition of corporate Church life for me. “There will be one, and only one hope for God’s people: their knowledge of Him in Christ… and the power of His resurrection as a present spiritual reality.
