If you were God, how would you go about revealing yourself to earth’s people? How could you
tell them about and give them the kind of life you wanted them to enjoy?
God has revealed Himself in creation, but creation alone could never tell us the story of God’s
love. God has also revealed Himself much more fully in His Word, the Bible. But God’s final

and most complete revelation is in His Son, Jesus Christ—God incarnate. He is the great gift of
Christmas.
Because Jesus is God’s revelation of Himself, He has a very special name: “The Word of Life”
(1 John 1:1). Why does Jesus Christ have this name? Because He is to us what our words are to
others.
Our words reveal to others just what we think and how we feel. Christ reveals to us the mind and
heart of God. He is the living means of communication between God and men. To know Jesus
Christ is to know God!
Jesus said: “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father” ( John 14:9).
Also read: John 1:1-14; John 7:28-29; 1 Timothy 2:5.
Action assignment: Ask God to give you a sense of Christ’s actual presence in your life.
Consciously take Him wherever you go today, being mindful of His holiness. Let Him transform
your life.
