Revelation of Christ

Perhaps upon reading the title of this article, you may think that this idea is taken from the book of Revelation. Instead, it comes from Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

He told them that through the grace of God, He revealed His Son (Galatians 1:16). Thus, as Paul went to many places, he preached that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (Acts 9:20). He tried to live a life that was in complete submission to Christ; when people saw Paul, they saw Jesus through him (Galatians 2:20). The life Jesus lived was an example to all, and we must strive to live as He did (1 Peter 2:21-22).

Paul then went on to make reference to the apostles who were before him in Jerusalem (Galatians 1:17). In Acts 2, the apostles were assembled together there at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. They received the Holy Spirit, and began to preach to all nations whereby everyone could hear and understand. Peter said to them, “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).” Again, Jesus was revealed through the apostles!

Jesus first revealed Himself to His apostles; His apostles then revealed Him to others. Now, it is up to you and me to reveal Christ in us. Surely, together we can bring many lost souls to Christ. Let the revelation of Jesus continue!
