The Apex of Revelation

God wants you to respond to Christ in faith. That is the whole purpose of Revelation; that we respond. Christ reflects revelation. He is revelation and completes Revelation. Christ communicated His Father’s nature and His father’s plan. He was the ultimate communicator. All of history acknowledges that Christ was the greatest teacher that has stood on earth. He is the greatest teacher and teaching the most important lesson in history; the meaning of life. Christ is the apex of Revelation because he is the sole mediator between God and Man. Christ has built the bridge, the path to God. Exactly the way God showed himself through history, Christ revealed God through his life. Christ communicated God and his plans through words, works, miracles, actions, thoughts and ultimately through his day to day life. Christ never wrote a book or composed a song but he speaks directly to us through time. He speaks to us through the Bible, the Church and the Holy Spirit. We are bound by space and time, but God is not. Since Christ is not bound by the laws of the universe he can speak to us directly now. Christ also revealed God gradually through his life, mission, and death and even beyond death. God works to his own schedule not ours. He communicated and showed us God step by step. After he rose from death he revealed even more of God’s plan; for example God showed his plan for the human body, he proclaimed his apostles mission. Even after he ascended into heaven he sent the Holy Spirit to communicate the last of God’s will and plan. It is the Holy Spirit that communicates the last of Christ’s teaching and work through the Church.
