Billy Graham has fed us with 60 years of sermons and has touched the hearts of millions. St. John the Revelator penned Revelation. Moses wrote the entire Pentateuch for Israel. Shakespeare gave us laughs, tears and drama. Luke gave the world the Christmas story. The Psalmist wrote of The Good Shepherd. Rick Warren told of The Purpose Driven Life. Isaiah displayed to us to the things of God. Martin Luther hatched the Reformation. Ruth showed us the Kinsman Redeemer. Joshua proved that God rewards obedience. Dwight L. Moody birthed a great university. Jochebed told the story of a mother’s love. Pilate washed salvation off his dirty hands. Doubting Thomas never doubted again. Solomon bequeathed us wisdom of the ages. Abraham Lincoln united a divided nation. John gave us the shortest book in the Bible. Matthew recorded the Sermon on the Mount. What are you doing with these 26 letters?
Among the numerous and impressive divine titles in Revelation, none is as integral as when Christ announces “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelation 1:8; 22:13 He has authority to claim His own title. Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. As Alpha, our Lord is the Source, the Beginning of all revealed truth, of all promise given, and of all authority under heaven and earth, and all testimony given to men. As Omega, He is also our End, with His glory as our goal. Everything finds its answer in Him who is “the first and the last.” The writer of the Book of Hebrews reminds us that the warriors of old prevailed because their faith was in Him who was the Author and Perfecter of such faith. To them He was the Alpha and Omega and everything in between. Is he your past, present, and future? Again I ask, what are we doing with just these 26 letters?
