A Farmer met a lonely pig along the road and asked him,
"Who are you?"
"Sir,"
said the pig,
"I am the last of the Gadarene swine. I stopped to ask where we were going; I survived."

God does not reveal Jesus to us...

"Jesus reveals God to us, God does not reveal Jesus to us... that is to say, our ideas about God cannot throw any light upon the life of Jesus... We cannot deduce anything about Jesus from what we think we know about God; we must now deduce everything we say about God from what we do know about Jesus." [italics mine] ---from Albert Nolan, Jesus Before Christianity

It just hit me, Jesus reveals true bread to us; bread does not reveal Jesus! You do not reveal Jesus to me, Jesus reveals you to me.
