In an "all age worship" service, with the sermon aimed at children at my
church, one of the youth leaders described it in the following way, by
looking at how he would describe himself. Professionally, Clive is a
scientist who works in nuclear fusion. In leisure, Clive is a keen tennis
player. To his children, Clive is Dad. Clive-the-scientist,
Clive-the-tennis player, Clive-the-Dad - three different personal
properties, but the same one person. Maybe it's not a perfect analogy, but
I think it's one that a child could understand.
