Jesus the Real One

Another good moment from Stott:

... Jesus called Himself the 'true' or 'real' [ale_the_s] Bread and Vine (Jn. vi. 32, xv. 1), as opposed to the baker's bread and the farmer's vine which are shadows of which He is the substance (and not vice versa)...


on 1 John 5:20 in Epistles of John, Tyndale NT Comm., IVP, 1964, p195

I read that as 'Jesus called himself the real ale.' I'm sure CAMRA would be very interested!
