DECEMBER 4 A SUPERIOR REVELATOR By Paul Weaver Ph.D., Associate Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary, Bible and Theology Matters Podcast Host Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son… (Hebrews 1:1-2)
On Christmas, our favorite time of the year, we celebrate the Incarnation. God became man!
In times past, God revealed Himself through prophets, and He did so many times over many years. But these prophets were merely men, and they were only communicators of revelation. A superior revelator with a superior revelation was yet to come!
Jesus Christ is that superior revelator. He is a superior revelator because:
1. He is eternal—He has always existed. 2. He is one with God the Father—He is not just a mediator of revelation, but the source of revelation. 3. The revelation He provides is direct—He spoke not merely as a communicator of revelation, but the revelation. Jesus Christ came as a superior revelator and informed humanity that God wants us to be reconciled to Him! He informed us we can have peace with God the Father through God the Son. Jesus lived a perfect life, He died as our substitute, and He rose again, conquering sin and death. And so, when we place our faith in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross, we can be reconciled to God and live eternally with Him. God wants to be known and has gone to great lengths to be known, including and especially in the Incarnation! This Christmas season, may we strive to be as passionate about making Him known as He is passionate about being made known!
