The First And The Last.

 

"saying, “I am A and Z, the First and Last!” And then I heard him say, “Write down everything you see, and send your letter to the seven churches in Turkey: to the church in Ephesus, the one in Smyrna, and those in Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” (Rev 1:11) (Living Bible )

Can you imagine our Lord Jesus appearing to you and saying I am A and Z? You would think that you had lost your mind. Think about it ---the words A to Z? Just what would the Lord mean about the two letters of the alphabet?

First, let's address the letter A. It is the beginning letter.  As we begin our day, we need to realize that Jesus is first in our lives. When our feet hit the floor, we should be thanking him. Our greeting to him should be--

1- Good morning, Father.

2- Good morning, Jesus.

3- Good morning, Holy Spirit. 

After that, we should take some time to pray and study God's word for the day. I guarantee that if you do this habitually, God will begin to show new things from the Word. He will start to speak to you. 

Second, the Letter Z is the last letter. When you go to bed, the last thing that should be on your mind is the Lord Jesus. You should spend some time thanking him in prayer and asking him for your slumber and rest. Also, you should stand on alert in case the Holy Spirit calls you to intercede for others. 

The Greek Version.

As we dig deeper into this, let's look at the King James version below--

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Rev 1:11)

The King James version contains the Greek letters of the Alphabet, which are Alpha (The First Letter) and Omega (The Last Letter). In fact, he mentions this 4 times in the word, so let's pay special attention to these letters. Alpha and Omega are symbolic of the word. From Genesis to Revelation (Beginning to End), you find God's promised deliverer, who is Jesus Christ, our Lord. Jesus is saying to John, while at the isle of Patmos, pay attention to my word. I am the promised Messiah mentioned since the book of Genesis. I am everything that you will ever need. (Alpha and Omega/A to Z)
