| "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8 The alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. From an alphabet you make words, and Jesus Christ is called the "Word of God" ~ the full revelation and intelligent communication of God. He is the only alphabet you can use to reach God. The only language God speaks and understands is the language where Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega and all the letters in between. He is the "A" and the "Z," and He is the "ABC." If you are going to get through to God the Father, you will have to go through the Son, Jesus Christ. "The beginning and the ending" refers to the eternity of the Son and His immutability. "Saith the Lord" is an affirmation of the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Which is," that is, at the present time, He is the glorified Christ. "Which was" ~ past time, the first coming of Christ as Savior. "Which is to come" ~ future time, the second coming of Christ as the Sovereign over this earth. And let us be always mindful: God is the beginning ~ not just the starting point, but the source of all things to come. God Bless You. |
