God’s final and perfect revelation is seen in Jesus: the incarnation is the revelation. Everything else develops from this point. Where the emphasis on the incarnation is weak the sense of revelation is weak and people go off on all kinds of ‘revelations’, that in reality, amount to nothing more than fantasies. they discover ‘Christ within themselves’ – which turns out to be a Christ of their own creation. The characteristics of Jesus, only begotten Son of God and crucified, ascended Saviour of the World, fade out and a weak, sentimental Christ takes His place
