When John was on Patmos, he saw a vision of Jesus. As our Lord spoke to him, He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End” (Rev. 1:8), and three verses later adds, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.” This same idea is found at the end of this book (21:6; 22:14). What is the meaning of the words alpha and omega? They are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. To help us understand this we might consider that He is the “A” and the “Z” in our alphabet.
That is precisely what He is. From beginning to end, in every aspect of truth, He is everything. Using our alphabet, what is Jesus to us?
A= He is almighty.
B= He is the Beginning.
C= He is our comforter.
D= He is the door.
E= He is everlasting.
F= He is faithful.
G= He is God.
H= He is holy.
I= He is the I AM.
J= He is Jehovah.
K= He is King of all kings.
L= He is Lord of all lords.
M= He is the Messiah.
N= He is near.
O= He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent.
P= He is the protector.
Q= He is the One who quickens (makes alive) us.
R= He is the Redeemer.
S= He is the Savior.
T= He is truth.
U= He is unchanging.
V= He is the victory.
W= He is the Way.
X= He is the Xristos (Greek for Christ), the Messiah.
Y= He is yes (in all His promises—2 Cor. 1:20).
Z= He is zealous (John 2:17) in serving God.
This may not be the view the world has of Jesus of Nazareth, but it is heaven’s view of Him. Take another look at this listing and make sure He is all of this to you!
