“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”

9 – I AM The Alpha and The Omega!

“I AM”

“He is risen!” “He is risen, indeed!!” Just as He had told His disciples, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and we declare, “He is alive!!” Yet how few understand that the death of Jesus on the cross, His resurrection from the dead and His ascension into heaven were not simply events that took place nearly 2,000 years ago. These events are directly related to everything that is going on in our world and in your life TODAY!! God explains in His Word what led up to Jesus’ death and resurrection, what it means for all who believe in Him, and what lies ahead when Jesus returns to earth. When God says, through the Apostle John, “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, who is and was and is to come,” He is telling us that all that happens, from before the creation of the earth, through the creation of the NEW heavens and the NEW earth is connected … and at the very center of all that God has done, is doing and will do is Jesus Christ!! Jesus is the eternal Son of God in the flesh, and it is only when you understand God’s plan, as He reveals it in His Word, that you see your life in Christ as part of it, living with meaning in the present and hope for the future. “Jesus is alive!” is more than a statement of fact. It is the foundation upon which true believers build our lives!! He is with us, and He is coming again! “Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, my life is worth the living, just because He lives!”
