In the Old Testament, the prophets would speak the word of God beginning with “Thus says the Lord”. When this was said everyone knew that what followed did not come from the man himself, but God speaking through that man.
In the New Testament Gospels Jesus often begins with “Truly I say to you”. In these words Jesus confirms His divinity, God with us.
God speaks to us directly in Jesus. His words, life, and death reveal God and His mercy. The Holy Spirit continues the progression of revelation and the presence of God with us. He speaks truly and only those things of God. Our charge is to listen.
