“But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” – Hebrews 1:2
Jesus is the ultimate and perfect revelation of God! Jesus is the way God has spoken to us most clearly and directly. The eternal Son of God, Jesus made God the Father known to us by His words, actions, miracles, character, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection from the dead.
Many today long to hear a word from God. The good news is God has given us plenty of words. They’re written down in the Bible. In the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), we see the life, hear the words, and understand the message of salvation offered to us through Jesus Christ.
However, we also know that all of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is breathed out by God. Both the Old and New Testament authors worked under the inspiration of the Spirit of Christ (1 Peter 1, 2 Peter 1, etc.) Jesus taught His disciples about how all of Scripture points to Him.
To hear a word from God, look to Jesus, not to yourself. Spend time every day reading the Bible (not just about the Bible). Pray before you read that God would speak to you that day and don’t be surprised when you begin to realize how often He’s giving you the exact word you need to hear that day.
