Prophets and Son

Do you have questions about how God communicates or has communicated? Do you find it difficult to believe God talks directly to people? Are you unsure about God speaking to the prophets of the Old Testament? Are you willing to believe his Son?

Many people in our world have a difficult time thinking God talks with people. If they are not followers of Jesus, it is an understandable point of view. But some followers of Jesus find it difficult to believe in today’s world, even if they believe God spoke to the prophets of old.

Perhaps because it is hard to believe for anyone who has not experienced is the one of the lesser reasons God sent his Son to be a human and walk this earth. By sending his Son, God did not diminish the fact he talked directly to the prophets of old. Nor did he diminish the fact that he still talks with people occasionally today. But by sending Jesus, God makes it a firsthand conversation between flesh and flesh.

Lest we think Jesus is nothing more than a messenger Himself, notice what the writer of Hebrews states about Him. It was through Jesus the worlds were created. By the way, notice that word is plural. Every planet in the universe was created through Jesus. Not only were they created through Him, but everything on every planet was created through Him. We sometimes forget that Jesus is God, one third of the Trinity. He has all the power of God. Therefore, we can trust Him to fulfill every promise.

I pray we all trust that God speaks to people. I pray we know Jesus came to earth to show us God’s image. I pray each one of us know that everything that has been created was created through Jesus. Trust that God speaks to people. Know that Jesus is the image of God. Know that Jesus is God. Know that everything was created through Jesus.

Hebrews 1:1-2 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds.
