After nearly 10 months of reading the Bible, we have reached the New Testament. And the New Testament begins by revealing Jesus - the God man - the Christ - the long awaited Messiah. But John tells us that those who long awaited Him did not receive Him. And the Jews today persist in their unbelief.
In John 1:18, we learn that God revealed Himself through Jesus. All that we heard from God and learned through His law and prophets still fell short of what we learn about God through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. As we read the Gospels, let us learn about God by listening to the words of Jesus but also by watching Him - what He does, where He goes, when He goes, who He interacts with, etc. God is revealed by every aspect of Jesus - let's play close attention - and receive Him as our own Lord and Savior.
