The Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last

Revelation 22:13 and Sunrise, Moraine Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Sunrise in Moraine Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Bible verse Revelation 22:13,Alpha and the Omega

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Revelation 22:13

The Self Existing Alpha and Omega

Jesus makes some remarkable claims in this verse. He claims to be God and as God He lived before and will live after all things. Jesus says He existed as God even when nothing else existed.

As the Alpha (the first letter of Greek alphabet) and Omega (the last letter) God exists because He exists. He always has existed. It is why He told Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” He relies on no one, needs no one and fears no one.

God alone is self-existent and that is one of His many incommunicable attributes. God needs nothing else to exist and everything else needs God to exist.

Alone Time with God

Matthew 14:23 and Mount Moran, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.A Mount Moran at sunrise near Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming and Matthew 14:23 Bible verse time with God in nature

“After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone” Matthew 14:23

Time with God in Nature

The Bible tells us that Jesus often spent time alone in the wilderness. In this particular circumstance it was the second time in two days Jesus tried to get alone after hearing about the death of his cousin, John the Baptist.

The first time He tried to get away the crowds followed Him. Finally, after He fed over 5,000 people Jesus sent His disciples away in a boat and He retreated to a mountain to be alone with the Father.

Jesus knew there are times we just need to get away and pray. As Christians, we follow in Christ’s footsteps when we get outside and spend time alone with the Father in nature.  When we do so we will be refreshed and blessed.

Care for God’s Natural World

God created all things and all of the natural world belongs to Him. As a nature photographer it is an honor for me to be able to photograph what belongs to our Lord.

Although nature is His and His alone, He has placed the creation under our stewardship to care for and to use. Let us take care of it the way He would have us.

Our Lord Never Changes

Hebrews 13:8-9a and the Way to Andrew’s Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.Rocks and boulder along the way to Andrew’s Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado and Hebrews 13:8-9a Jesus never changes “

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace.” Hebrews 13:8-9a

God Never Changes

Everything changes. Mountain seem stable, but one only needs to look at a mountain’s boulder field to know that mountain is slowly crumbling. Certainly things, like the glacier in the upper right of this photograph, are even less stable than the mountain.

If mountains are unstable, how much more unstable are the philosophies, religions and governments of this world. They all change and crumble away. Only God and His Word never change.

No matter what goes on in the world, remember Jesus never changes and neither should the source of our faith. Stick to the teaching of God’s word. Man’s teaching can lead us astray. Focus on the Bible. It forever remains true!
