The First and the Last

Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called;

I am He, I am the first, I am also the last. – Isaiah 48:12

Jesus is:

The Alpha and the Omega

The First and the Last

The Beginning and the End

 

In the last post, we looked at what the Alpha and the Omega might have meant to John. What does that mean to you? In Ann Spangler’s book Praying the Names of God for 52 Weeks, she asks some thought provoking questions.

Instead of looking at your life as your story, what if you viewed your life as part of God’s story? What implications does this have tor the way you live and the goals you have?

and

What would it mean to say that Jesus is first and last in your own life?

 

If Jesus is the beginning and the end, and you’re in Him, then nothing happens to you apart from Him. When that truth penetrates my circumstances, I find it close to impossible to worry. Because whatever I’m facing, it’s no surprise to Him. And it’s not too big for Him.

And I’m grateful.

  • Why Bread of Life?

    This week’s name is “Bread of Life.” Why? Well, Jesus had recently fed a huge crowd with a miraculous amount of bread. But is there more significance? If Jesus were to address the crowds today in 21st century America, would He still say, “I am the Bread of Life?” I’d say so. Jesus is NOT…

    This week’s name is Miqweh Yisrael, the Hope of Israel.

    So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic. – Isaiah 28:16 (NIV) This verse reminds me of Greg Koukl’s catchphrase, “Never read a Bible verse.” It’s…

  • Yahweh – The LORD

    Yahweh is our God’s covenant name. Technically, it’s the tetragrammaton, YHWH. It doesn’t have vowels, so we’ve inserted the A and the E to be able to pronounce it.  The writers of the KJV transliterated it as Jehovah. (They swapped the Y for a J and the W for a V.)  JeHoVaH. It’s associated with…
