How do we know Jesus Christ reveals Himself to us?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus reveals Himself to His people at God's appointed time, similar to how Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers (John 17:2).

The revelation of Christ to His people is depicted through various biblical narratives, exemplifying the heart of the gospel. In John 17:2, Jesus speaks about giving eternal life to those the Father has given Him, illustrating that His revelation is part of God’s sovereign plan. The story of Joseph serves as a type for this revelation; just as Joseph revealed himself to his brothers after years of separation, Christ reveals Himself to His beloved children when it is God's appointed time. This truth reinforces the glory of God's perfect timing and gracious invitation to know Him more intimately. The beauty lies in the assurance that no one can come to Christ unless drawn by the Father, affirming that all He reveals Himself to also reflects His sovereign grace.
