Sunday I began my Christmas messages for this year. My text included Hebrews 1:2a, “In these last days, God has spoken to us by His Son.”
When God gave revelations in portions, He used prophets. When He gave the ultimate revelation, He Son-spoke. God used various servants to give certain messages, but when it came to His last, best word, He chose to come Himself and inhabit flesh. Since revelation has God as its source, and people as its object, it is appropriate the ultimate revelation was a God-man.
Now we have God's final Word. In our Lord Jesus we have the climax of the Gospel revelation. God has held nothing in reserve. We are no longer kept in suspense regarding new discoveries about God. He has nothing more to reveal.
Christ has to be the final spokesman of Deity, because He is God. Nothing more could be said or revealed. Jesus revealed God by being Himself. Christ was not only a messenger; He was the message. Nothing more can be conveyed than God Himself. This is what happened in Jesus.
