Jesus is the complete,entire and final word <strong>of</strong> God. God has nothing more to saythan what He said in Christ! We have witnessed so many wellintentioned believers waiting for a new word, a new <strong>wave</strong>and even a new prophesy – swept to and fro by every wind<strong>of</strong> “new revelation”.To wait on another word or another event, is to misinterpretand consequently devalue what God has said in Christ.When the Word became flesh, it was not just a portion <strong>of</strong> theWord being revealed to mankind, it was the absoluterevelation. Jesus is not just another piece <strong>of</strong> God’scommunication to man. No! He is the full and completerevelation <strong>of</strong> God; the crescendo <strong>of</strong> His conversation withman.I pray that you enter this season growing in this revelation.‘But thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift’ 2Cor 9:10Celebrate Christ. Rest well. Enjoy your family.We deeply love and appreciate you all.Alan, Leana, Duncan and Amy.Join Alan on Facebook!
