Jesus reveals Himself through personal encounters, His Word, and the testimony of His works.
Jesus reveals Himself to His followers through intimate encounters and in the proclamation of His Word. In John 21, the disciples recognize Jesus because of His actions and words that resonate with their previous experiences with Him. This revelation is crucial as it affirms His divinity and the promises He fulfills. Additionally, personal experiences and the transformative impact of His grace in their lives solidify their understanding of His identity. The continuous revelation of Jesus not only strengthens faith but also invites believers into a deeper relationship, fostering trust and obedience in their walk with Him.
