The only kind of Jesus we have ever seen with our own eyes is a man playing the role. A few of our men have portrayed the suffering Jesus in our Easter presentation.

briefcase.

The conductor said, "We all know who you are, Dr. Einstein. I’m

As the conductor moved along, he looked back to see Einstein on
his hands and knees searching under the seats for his ticket. The
conductor walked back, "Dr. Einstein, please, don’t worry about it.
I know who you are."

Exasperated, Einstein looked up and said, "I, too, know who I am.
What I don’t know is where I’m going."
