I am the Alpha and Omega

We are living in a world that wants to oppose the progress of the gospel. The purpose of John's writing this book, therefore, is so that when the faith of Christians is low and they are called to suffer for it, that they will as John, hear the voice of this Scripture behind them, as loud as a trumpet, saying to them that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End of everything that they want to become, and everything that they want to see happen in relation to the progress of truth in their lives. He is indeed the author and the finisher of our faith in every way. So what we want to ask this afternoon is, “In what tangible ways is the Lord Jesus Christ the Alpha and the Omega of His saints, so that they can be His faithful witnesses?” Well there are 3 tangible ways given in the text: 1st – He is the Alpha and Omega in their tribulations. 2nd – He is the Alpha and Omega in the kingdom. And 3rd – He is the Alpha and Omega in building their patience.
