I once heard it put succinctly by a convert from the Nazarenes:
“I realized that Jesus came to found a Church, not publish a book.”

The church was made for man, not man for the church. He didn’t come to found a church, for the sake of founding a church. He came to save sinners, not preserve ritual.
