STUDY 6 

5TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY FEBRUARY 6 2022

THEME: THE LORD GOD AND THE REIGN OF PEACE

SUB-THEME: Means of God’s Revelation to Mankind 5

TOPIC: Jesus Christ

TEXTS: Heb. 1:1-3

AIMS:

i.to show Jesus Christ as the final revelation of God to mankind and

ii.to expose the earthly reign of Jesus and His eternal reign in heaven.

INTRODUTION

The phrase “at sundry times” (KJV) really means “in many portions” of the Old Testament Scriptures.

This means that all revelations to be known were not given to only one prophet, but each received that 

which was given to him. Likewise, the phrase “in divers manners” (KJV) also means some of the 

prophets heard audible voice of God, some through Urim and Thummim, some through dreams, and 

some through visions.

The Old Testament revelations were fragmentary in substance, even though they were many and 

various in form. There were very multitude of prophets, yet they all prophesied only in part. However, 

in Christ, the revelation of God is full. All mysteries to be known of God and His purposes in humankind

are united in Jesus.

STUDY GUIDE

1. What do you understand by the statement, “Jesus: the final revelation of God to mankind”?

2. Why do you think Jesus is superior to any other means of revelation? Matt 17:5; Acts 3: 22 – 24; 

3. Read Hebrews 1:2 again and discuss the three qualities found in Christ that was not found in any of 

the prophets in the Old Testament.

4. Making the three qualities of Jesus Christ in Hebrews 1:2 the basis, how can you explain Jesus’ reign 

on earth and in heaven? John 14: 9 & 10; Pro. 8: 26 – 31; Psalm 110: 1 & 2; Phil 2:5-11. 

CONCLUSION

Jesus’ superiority to all other means of God’s revelation to mankind stems from the fact that, He is the 

Son, and He is one with the Father; He is whom God has appointed heir of all things; because through 

Him God made the worlds. Therefore, He reigns over all in the physical and the spiritual, and He will 

reign with God in Heaven forever and ever.

FOOD FOR THOUHT: The final revelation of God is the perfect manifestation of God to humankind.

MEMORY VERSE: Heb 1:1-2 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto 

the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath 

appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.
