God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19). The full revelation of God to us is in Christ. What is God like? Jesus is the express image or likeness of God the Father (Hebrews 1:1-3). We know the Father through the Son of God, Jesus our Lord.
God is revealed in Christ as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. All should agree that the Bible is a book about God. How can we understand who God is? Christ is perfect and complete theology. No wonder Jesus said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). Christ is the total and full revelation of God. The Bible reveals God in Christ.
Both the Old and New Testaments reveal Christ. In the Old Testament, Christ is revealed in prophecy and typology. The first prophecy of Christ coming is found in Genesis 3:15. He is the Seed of the woman. In typology Christ is revealed in signs and symbols, such as the Lamb of God. In the New Testament, Christ is revealed as fulfilling the prophecy and typology of the Old Testament.
Christ is our Lord and Savior. Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the sacrifice for all our sins. He is our risen Lord. Christ is our assurance of salvation. He is the focus of our faith, the hope of our future, and the love of our lives. Christ is our all and all, now and forever!
