What does the Bible say about Jesus revealing Himself?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible says that Jesus reveals Himself through the eyes of faith and His divine initiative, as seen in John 21.
In the Gospel of John, it is emphasized that Jesus must reveal Himself for individuals to truly know Him. John 21 opens with the phrase 'Jesus showed Himself', indicating that revelation is a sovereign act of God. This aligns with the theme throughout the New Testament that encountering Christ requires divine revelation rather than human intellect or effort. When Jesus reveals Himself, it transforms a person's understanding and experience of life, as indicated in John 17:3, where eternal life is defined as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ.
