Hence
the

theology
is
not
what

has
found
out
about
God,
but
what
cod

has
revealed
(

Cbvionsly
the
lesson
is
that
neither
individualg
nor
nations
discover
God.
But
A
‘God
seeks
to
reveal
himself
to
every
Y
one,
and
occasionally
*inds
one
who
is
willing
to
listen
to
God's
message
through
Nature,
through
Providence,
or
through
the
light
of
the
Spirit
(
enlightening
the
messages
of
these
other
sources
).
Thus
the
individual,
or
tue
people
(
Israel
)
become
a
ncuthpiece
for
God,
through
wich
He
may
gpeak
to
mankind.
In
this
way
we
have
a
true
REVELATICN.
Jesug
Christ
was
the
only
perfect
medium
for
the
revealing
of
God
to
man.
