Jesus spoke enigmatically, ambiguously, vaguely, beseechingly, imagistically, wistfully, poignantly, trustingly, peremptorily … because those are the qualities of language itself, and he was the Word made flesh.

The tools of verbal communication are to the individuality of the speaker as lines on a map are to reality, purposeful to an impossible and forlorn intention, that of oneness with another.

Heavenly communication will be ontological, not conceptual.
