Johnson: no temple

Wednesday, April 30, 2014
    Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922
Meditation:
    And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
    —Revelation 21:22 (KJV)
Quotation:
    We ought not to forget that the whole Church, quite as much as any part of it, exists for the sole reason of finally becoming superfluous. Of heaven St. John the Divine said, “I saw no temple therein.”

Quiet time reflection:
