3I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Among the Jewish rabbis, it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. Jesus as the beginning and end of all things is a reference to no one but the true God.
I heard Cecilia ask a relative the other day......
Why do people that have no faith celibate religious holidays?
Do you know someone that celebrates Easter, but has no faith?
Without Easter our faith would be meaningless!
Isaiah 41:4 (NKJV)
4 Who has performed and done it,
Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am the first;
And with the last I am He.’ ”
“Preach orthodoxy, or any form of doxy; if you have left out Christ, there is no manna from heaven, no water from the rock, no refuge from the storm, no healing for the sick, no life for the dead. If you leave out Christ, you have left the sun out of the day, and the moon out of the night, you have left the waters out of the sea, and the foods out of the river, you have left the harvest out of the year, the soul out of the body, you have left joy out of heaven, yea, you have robbed all of its all. There is no gospel worth thinking of, much less worth proclaiming in Jehovah’s name, if Jesus be forgotten.” (Spurgeon)
Do you believe Jesus is the Alpha and Omega?
Will you celebrate Jesus' resurrection or the easter bunny?
Blessings, David
