The Revelation Of The New Testament Is Jesus (Hebrews1:1-3)

“Long ago God spoke many times in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.

And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. 

God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.

The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God” (Hebrews1:1-3).

St. Paul is telling us that the Revelation of the New Testament is not inspiration given to God’s prophets to tell people about God, but it is Jesus Himself the incarnated Word, and Son of God.

He is God revealed in flesh, who radiates Father God’s own glory and expresses His very character.

Jesus Himself in the Gospel of John, chapter seven, told us who He is, saying, “But I know Him, I am from Him, and He sent me” (John 7:29). 

St. Peter in his second letter did compare between the prophetic word in the Old Testament and the New Testament’s revelation, saying, “We also have the message of the prophets.

This message can be trusted completely. 

You must pay attention to it. 

The message is like a light shinning in a dark place. 

It will shine until the day Jesus comes”. (1peter 1:19). 

So the prophetic word in the Old Testament is like a light shinning in a dark place compared to the full light of the day produced by the sun which is Jesus. 

We, the Christians, after having the revelation of the New Testament, and the true image of God revealed in His incarnated Son, now we know who is God.

God is a lover, He is the source of life and being; He is the creator, giving birth to everything on earth.

The creator and the giver of life cannot be in the same time the destroyer and the killer.

God cannot be the thing and its opposite. In the Gospel of John, chapter eight, Jesus said that the devil is the enemy of man who came to destroy and kill, not Father God. 

What was written in the Old was that God loves His people and He will save them.

Father God did fulfill the promise of salvation in His Son Jesus Christ.

God had sent His only begotten Son to save mankind from the sting and the power of death (i.e. sin) which entered to the life of man.

Jesus came to change the sinful nature of man by giving Himself to us, His holy and eternal life through the Holy Spirit.

On the cross, He confronted sin and death and defeated them in His body which is our body. 

He was resurrected and gave His resurrection (i.e. His overcoming power over death) to all who believe in Him, accept Him as Lord and Savior, and receive His power over the grip of sin in the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
