Jesus: I AM. A devotion in 9 days – Day 9

Revelation 1:8 I AM…the Alpha and Omega

While not considered one of the “I AM” statements of Christ, I feel that this sums everything up. For Christ IS the beginning and the end. Not only knowing the beginning FROM the end but HAVING no beginning and HAVING no end.

You might have some questions about these past few days. You might think I missed the point, didn’t get my point, or was wrong on a lot of points. That’s OK. Because you aren’t following me, and if you are I hope that you see that I am struggling to follow HIM. Scripture is all about Him. Some of it is confusing, some of it is scary but all of it is wonderful. For it tells us how we came to be, why we came to be and where we can be. It shows us we have lost our way, it shows us we cannot find our way and it shows us the ONLY way.

It points us to Jesus. The Way.

So instead of a ‘daily prayer’, let me offer this prayer to Him for you, Dear Reader…Father, I ask that you guide my writing, that those who have read my musings look past my personal part and see only You. That these devotions give the reader a thirst for You. Open their hearts and minds to see You-the majesty and grandeur that is Yours and Yours Alone. Grant them a desire to follow You so that someday, in the fullness of time all of us who have read these words can all stand before You and hear those words: Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter into your Master’s rest!

I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus the Christ.

Amen.
