Alpha and Omega

“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End,’ says the Lord, ‘Who is and
Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.’”
REVELATION 1:8

Jesus is the Alpha from Whom all things in God are initiated, and Jesus is the Omega unto Whom all things of God find their purpose, their meaning, and their reason for being. Everything begins in Christ, and everything ends in Christ. He is the Beginning as well as the End.
Real spiritual growth occurs when we realize that God has only one goal for us, and that is the full, mature, complete, and experiential knowledge of Jesus Christ. To the extent that we discard “things” and become focused wholly on Christ, to that extent we will make progress.
