"God Has Spoken"- Hebrews 1:1-2

"God,who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son...."-Heb.1:1

All through the centuries of time God has always had a way of speaking to man. He has always had a message to share and someone to share it. Through the Old Testament He used the prophets, they were His messengers for that time. They were used to warn of coming judgement for sin. They are not used to declare God's message today.
We have just celebrated the Christmas season, this is the time when we celebrate when God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to come to earth and give His message. He was not just a prophet He was God in the flesh, the living Word of God, Immanuel, God with us. He came as a baby to show that He is approachable, He walked with and healed common sinners to show that He cares for the needs of every man, and He sent the ultimate message when He died on the cross to say "God Loves You" to the whole world. He did all of this because He had a message for us.
Now we have His complete Word in the Bible we hold today. It is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. God's message preserved for us today-it is everything He wants us to know. He wants us to know that He loves us so much that He provided a way for us to be saved, He wants us to know that the only way is through His Son, Jesus, and His death on the cross.
This is the message, do you believe? And for those of you that do, it is our turn. Now God wants to speak through us, He has commanded us to "Go..into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" Let's get busy!
