Revelation 21:6 (NAS)
And
He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of
life without cost.
Revelation 21:6 (NIVUS)
He
said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and
the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the
spring of the water of life.
Adonai, the Lord God, has
always existed; in fact, He refers to Himself as "I Am"; He
could have simply said "I exist". Yeshua, His Son, Who eternally
existed as the Word, became flesh. He became Emmanuel or "God
with Us". Through Him, you were introduced to the manifest presence
of God.
After He completed His work
on earth, He revealed another name to the Apostle John. The Lord said He
is the Alpha or the Beginning. Nothing could start without His
intervention. The world would not exist if He had not originated it.
Everything began with His word, including your life.
He also said He is the Omega
or the end. Everything that Jehovah starts, He finishes. He does not quit
in the middle, declaring it to be just too hard. What He has begun in your
life, He will bring to completion. He fulfills each and every purpose that He
has for you.
Not only will
He complete your life, but on the way to the end, He will also provide all
that you need. He promises to quench your thirst. He knows that
your soul wants and eagerly longs to be refreshed, supported, and strengthened.
And instead of just one drink, He will supply a fountain of water or a well
that is fed by a spring. In Him you have a constant supply. This water has
the very vitality of God in it and will continually refresh and strengthen your
soul.
Therefore, keep your trust in
the Alpha and Omega. He will finish the good work He has started in you.
