God speaks

Hebrews 1:1-2: "Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds."
I sometimes hear people discussing the question, "Does God still speak to people?" Or more personally, "Does God speak to me and if so, how?" One of our deepest needs is to hear from our Creator. We are hungry for direction and guidance in our lives.
We are blessed that God has not left us scratching our heads over how and if God speaks to us. God has made it clear to us that His word and words for our lives are contained in the Bible.
God spoke to the Jews through the prophets of the Old Testament. These were human mouthpieces for the word of God. But as the Scripture above declares, in Jesus, God is speaking to us through His own Son, the Living Word of God. A comparison could be drawn to the voice of a king in ancient times. A king might send an ambassador to speak his word to another king. But if the king sends his own Son, the message is regarded as more directly given by the king. The son would be expected to share the exact words and perspective of the king.
If you are wondering today, "does God still speak?" then you have to go no farther than your Bible. Have trouble understanding the Bible? Then I recommend the New Living Translation. Check it out at www.biblestudytools.com
