Hearing God: Part 2

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature – Hebrews 1:1-3a ESV

“In the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:1, 14 ESV

1. God speaks in a variety of ways

Scripture
“Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:27

Sacrament
When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave to them… Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.” Luke24:31, 35

Spirit
“They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

2. God speaks through subtlety

“While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.” – Luke 24:15 ESV

3. God speaks through scripture

Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!

I will bless the Lord who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. – Psalm 16:5-8 NLT
