I Thank You, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth | 8.28.22

Frederick Dale Bruner: "The classic Christian conviction is this: There is no knowledge anywhere of the Father that is not mediated through God the Son and that is not brought into the individual heart through God the Holy Spirit. If God is the God revealed in Scripture, Christians feel they must say these things: "No one really knows the Father except the Son and the one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Christians must hold as loyally and as tenaciously to our confession of this one Mediator as the ancient people of God before us held loyally and tenaciously to their confession of the one God….God may reveal himself to whomever God chooses. But we still believe, instructed by this text, that only the Son makes the Father known anywhere…we leave to God His secrets; we preach Christ.”
