“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end” (Revelation 22:13).

Who is Jesus?  Here you have His revelation of who He is.  He is the I AM that spoke to Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets and in these last days, to us.  The Father and Son are One.  The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are Holy Trinity who are the Alpha and Omega.  God was, IS, and will be.  In invented time and all time is “now” for Him.  Fall on your knees and worship the One through whom all things have their being.

We have met the man Jesus, born lowly, humble, and meek in a stable in the words of the Gospels. We have heard of His actions and what they will produce in the Epistles.  Now, we hear the revelation that Jesus is God in the flesh.  Like Thomas, all we can do is fall on our face and worship our Lord and God.  Too many choose the thinking of Jesus as just a great buddy.  Yes, He is our friend, but He is also God.

Lord God, Alpha and Omega, Trinity who saves, may I do all that You command.  Though I need saving, yet, I have been saved.  Guide me today to be faithful and diligent, knowing that I am before You forever.  You alone do I desire to serve.  Let me never forget this simple truth.  When I serve others, I am really serving You.  Thank You for providing all that is needed so that I may live the life for which I was created.  Amen.
