REVELATION

WHAT I LONG TO COMMUNICATE IN MY
MESSAGE ON REVELATION

I desire to prove that every part of the Bible is given to unveil the
Lord Jesus to our hearts. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal Christ in
the Scriptures. A merely academic study of the Bible will never
reveal Christ. The Bible, like the Lord Jesus, has both a human side
and a divine side. Only God can reveal God. Mastering the human
side of the Bible without receiving the Holy Spirit’s revelation of
Christ will cause us to become increasingly proud. We need the
Bible, the revelation of Christ, and we need a revelation of the
revelation to have a heart knowledge of Him.
The Indispensable Principle

As we come to look in the word there is a principle of Bible study
that is absolutely indispensable. If we substitute what is helpful for
what is indispensable God will not use it anymore. Only God can
reveal God. So, we come as little children and we say, “Show me
Jesus.” John 6:45, “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all
be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the
Father comes to Me.’” Jesus said, “Anyone who is taught of God,
who has heard from the Father, comes to Jesus.” How do you know
if what you hear is from God? You know it’s from God if it leads to
Jesus. Everyone who is taught of God comes to Jesus.
