Day 4: Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega


Alpha and Omega are letters that are at the beginning and end of the Greek alphabet.



One of the ways we can celebrate Advent is with a "Jesse" Tree. This is a Christmas tree that you put a new ornament on every day as you celebrate the Advent. If you had a "Jesse" Tree you would have put lights on it the first day, little loaves of bread the second day lilys and roses the third day and today the letters A and Z and my precious sister's oldest grand-daughter and she (herself) colored these pictures...which will be turned into ornaments to add to their tree.



Revelation 1:8

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”


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



So today, December 4th I am contemplating...How is Jesus both the start and the finish, the beginning and the end? Where was Jesus before He was born in Bethlehem? Where is Jesus now? I am amazed at how knowing these things gives me the greatest hope.....What a joy it is to know that he IS and WAS and IS TO COME!!
