Episode notes
Christ Is The Fullness Of Revelation
- Jesus Christ is the Father's definitive, unsurpassable Word who has said everything to humanity.
- Therefore, public revelation is complete and no new public revelation will follow Christ.
Stop Chasing The Next New Revelation
- Avoid seeking new revelations as a way to escape or replace Christ's revelation.
- Fix your eyes on Christ rather than chasing novelty or different answers from God.
