Jesus is the Better Revelation

Hebrews opens with an incredible declaration: the God who exists has chosen to make Himself known; He is a God who speaks and reveals Himself. We are not left alone to guess or figure out our own spirituality. We have a God who has condescended to make Himself known so that we can have a relationship with Him. Furthermore, this God speaks in many different ways, to and through many different people. Yet, the author of Hebrews reminds us that the clearest forms of God's revelation are through the prophets who wrote the Scriptures and His sending of Jesus, His own Son, into the world. Jesus is full revelation of the God who came among us. It is He who created the universe, owns everything, and is the sacrifice for our sin. So, in reality Jesus is also the point of all revelation and the central theme for everything in the Bible. This sermon will point to a Jesus-centered hermeneutic as the goal for the study of all Scripture.
