Now about the question that arises in the inquiring mind, "Who may this alpha and omega be? What was he before Jesus Christ? What would he be like after the time of Jesus Christ?" For those who put the water of the ocean in a pitcher, that water is from the ocean; but really the ocean is the ocean. Those of different creeds who have different forms of worship and dogmas say, "This is the teaching of Christ." Yes, it is true, but it is not all the teaching of Christ. It is as true as to say, "This is the ocean," if one brought water from the ocean in a pitcher. It is true, but there still is an ocean.
