GOD IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA!!!

God says ‘I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the beginning and the
ending’ (Rev 1,8). We can rattle off that
text, but it is a complex and
fathomless revelation. It assures us
straightaway that nothing begins
without Him. ‘In the beginning
God...’ (Gen 1,1) - in all beginnings! We
don’t begin at all until we come to Him
but otherwise are going nowhere and
doing nothing, as people on a
treadmill. The Greeks thought that time
went in circles, the same things
happening again and again. But this
astonishing book the Bible cuts right
across heathen guesses. God’s ways
are eternal, not repetitive. When our
lives are tied in with His, we are carried
along in His purposes as He sweeps
from the eternal past to the eternal
future.
