What does the Bible say about Jesus manifesting Himself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus manifests Himself to the elect, not to the world, highlighting a distinction in His divine revelation.

In John 14:22, Judas, not Iscariot, asks Jesus how He will manifest Himself to His followers and not to the world. This question underlines the biblical truth that Jesus reveals Himself primarily to those whom the Father has given to Him, commonly referred to as the elect. In John 17:9, Jesus explicitly states, 'I pray for them; I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me.' This distinction emphasizes that while God's general grace may be apparent in creation, His saving grace is specifically directed toward His chosen ones, affirming a sovereign grace perspective.
