The Alpha and the Omega
““I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””
TODAY IS THE DAY
On the same day we celebrate the child of Bethlehem, Scripture also shows who he truly is — the Lord God Almighty.
FIRST AND LAST LETTER
Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet — God declares himself the beginning and end of everything that exists.
IS, WAS, AND IS TO COME
No tense escapes God — past, present, and future are equally under his rule, with no beginning or end for him.
THE ALMIGHTY IN THE MANGER
This is the same Lord who once lay fragile in a manger — the Almighty chose to become small without ceasing to be who he always was.
FROM MANGER TO THRONE
The whole biblical journey, from Eden to Revelation, converges on this declaration — the child who was born is the same one who reigns eternally.
ACT BY WORSHIPING TODAY
Act: This Christmas Day, before anything else, declare out loud that the child of Bethlehem is the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty of your life.
