Robins often build a nest
on the porch light on our back deck. We've been watching
but so far this year we've not seen the babies. We have
a great view looking down on the nest from our bathroom
window only about seven feet away. The white diagonal
across the top is my gutter as she has made her nest
under the eaves. This photo was taken several years ago.
"The
Alpha And The Omega"
Message
summary:
Today let us believe
in and serve this
faithful God, who is
indeed the eternal
"I Am". He is the
Alpha and the Omega.
Listen to our
message on your
audio player.
"I
am the Alpha and
the Omega," says
the Lord God,
"who is and who
was and who is
to come, the
Almighty"
(Revelation
1:8). "I am the
Alpha and the
Omega, the first
and the last,
the beginning
and the end"
(Revelation
22:13).
He is
the Alpha and
Omega
The Son of God, the King of Kings The Messiah, Jehovah, The Great I Am Seed of Abraham Keith
was busy preparing
numerous orders
for shipment. He
told me, "I am the
alpha and omega".
Taken back a bit I
asked him for
clarification and
he shared that he
is responsible for
both receiving and
shipping for the
company he works
for!
Although
I initially
thought his
statement sounded
a bit sacrilegious
I saw his point
since he has a
role in both the
beginning and
ending of the
manufacturing
process. He
processes the
incoming raw
materials and then
prepares the
finished product
for shipment. He
assured me that he
meant no
disrespect to the
Lord, who first
uttered these
words. He may be
the alpha and
omega for his
company but there
is only one true
Alpha and Omega!
The
phrase “I am
the Alpha and
the Omega”
is found three
times, all in the
book of
Revelation. The Lord's
powerful
self-declaration is among
the last words in
the Bible, "I
am the Alpha and
the Omega, the
First and the
Last, the
Beginning and
the End"
(Revelation
22:13).
Alpha (Ἄλφα), being the first letter of the Greek alphabet (as is our "A") stands for the "beginning." The English word Alphabet is derived from the names of the first two Greek letters, alpha and beta. Omega
(Ὦ), the last
letter of the
Greek alphabet (as
is our "Z") stands
for the "end".
Because God
existed from
before all time
and will exist
beyond all time,
there is no room
for another God
(Isaiah 43:10).
Throughout the
Father’s
preexistence, the
Son was always
with Him (John
1:1-3; 8:54;
Colossians 1:17).
Today let us believe in and serve this faithful God, who is indeed the eternal "I Am". He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is
the Alpha and
Omega
The Beginning and the End Son of God, King of Kings The Lord of Everything He is Lord!! Be encouraged today, Stephen & Brooksyne Weber In
the Gospel of
John Jesus
asserted His
deity in using
the phrase "I
am" to
describe
Himself. They
are known as
the ego eimi
(ἐγώ εἰμι)
statements
from the Greek
words for "I
am".
