What does the Bible say about the revelation of Jesus Christ?
Answered in 36 sources
The Bible describes the revelation of Jesus Christ as God's disclosure of truth to His servants, emphasizing that understanding this revelation comes through divine illumination.
The book of Revelation is fundamentally titled 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ', indicating that its contents center on the truth and person of Christ. According to Revelation 1:1, it is not something we deduce on our own but rather what is revealed by God through the Spirit. The truths contained within this revelation were given to Jesus to show to His servants – those who serve His cause and glory (Revelation 1:1). This underscores a significant theological assertion in sovereign grace and Reformed thought: that divine knowledge comes through God's sovereign revelation, not human insight or wisdom.
