What are these
letters? The first one is part of our
alphabet, but it is also the first letter of the Greek alphabet and is called
“Alpha.” The other letter is called
Omega. It is the last letter of the
Greek alphabet. Greek is important
because the part of the Bible that tells about Jesus' life was written in that
language. When the Bible talks about
Alpha and Omega, all the people who first read it knew exactly what that meant.
When Jesus called
Himself “the Alpha and the Omega” (Revelation 1:8), he meant that he is the
first and the last. The first means
that before creation, he was already there.
The last means that even if other things are destroyed, he will always
be there. He is eternal and will never
end.
Yes, Jesus
was born and had a birthday on Christmas, but He existed long before that. And now that he is not on earth any more, he
is still alive in Heaven.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
It is hard for us to understand that you have always been
God, but we believe what you tell us.
Thank you for being so trustworthy and perfect.
Amen.
