The Alpha and Omega

Revelation 1-4 

“’…These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands:…These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again…These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.’”

Revelation 2:1, 8, 12

This revelation of Jesus Christ in all his glory as head of his Church, eternal in his being, overcoming death, and leading the armies of heaven, this Jesus is the One to whom we give our lives. Jesus is present today, walking among the lampstands (local churches) and engaged with our issues and struggles. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, so we can trust his perspective on our questions and trust him with our eternity. The word in his mouth is the Word of God, and it is this sword that will judge the nations with truth. We can trust Christ’s justice to prevail.

Do we know this resurrected Christ Jesus?

“Lord Jesus, your words are life and light; I bow at your feet in worship and surrender, for your glory.”
