"But we preach Christ crucified." 1Cor 1:23.
☝️The above dimension of the revelation of Christ is related to what He accomplished on the cross. However, the revelation of Christ is more extensive and encompassing than the "finished work on the cross." To preach Christ, you have to ask yourself, Who is Christ?
👉First, Christ is the Word that was in the beginning with God and was God but became flesh and dwelled among men. John 1:1, John 1: 14.
👉Where does this understanding of the revelation of Christ lead?
Check this!👇🏼
Revelation 22:13
And he said unto me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end."
👉Look at the phrase " I am the beginning and the end." Is that the Christ you preach? 👉I am the beginning (Genesis) and the End(Revelation). 👈
👉To preach Christ is to see Christ through the 66 books of the Bible. If all you know about Christ is the revelation of "Him crucified," you are narrow in your perspective.
You can't define an Elephant by touching its leg or ears, but that is what most preachers and teachers who are causing so much distraction and confusion within the body of Christ are doing?
👉All apostolic fathers throughout history had this understanding and revelation. That is why John the Apostle wrote, "I write unto you, fathers because ye have known him that is from the beginning."
1 John 2: 13.
👉Did you get that? Fathers have a revelation of Christ that stretches from the Beginning (Genesis) throughout the Bible.
🔥Someone should tell these preachers who are setting confusion with their narrow perspective of the revelation of Christ to calm down, unlearn and relearn.
👉When you genuinely preach Christ, you will preach the whole counsel of God.
"For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God." Acts 20:27
That is where preaching Christ leads-The Whole Counsel of God. Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning( Genesis) and the End (Revelation). No one spreads heresies who see Christ from the above holistic perspective.
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
