Mustard Seed Thoughts : Is, Was, and Still to Come

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.

Is, Was, and Still to Come

By: Ron Edmondson Thursday, February 10, 2000

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8 NIV

Jesus was there at the beginning. When God said, "Let there be", Jesus was with Him giving His approval. Jesus is a part of the Father. When you have seen Jesus, you have seen God.

Jesus is here today. He sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding on our behalf. He literally resides within the heart of every Christian through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

And, Jesus is still to come. He is the reigning King who will mount a white horse and come in the clouds to proclaim victory for His people once and for all. He is the Victor over death and holds the keys to Hell. He will bring justice and peace to a fallen, mixed-up, broken world.

When Jesus says He is the Alpha and Omega, He is claiming to be before and after all that we can know or imagine. He's the beginning and the end, and everything in the middle. There has never been a moment when Jesus wasn't, and there will never be a time when He isn't.

When you consider His character which trancends our measurements of time, you can easily see how He can help you and I through the simple (to Him) problems and burdens of life. Since He is greater than all our cares and concerns, He able to provide answers to each one.

Thank God today that He IS, WAS, and shall forever BE!
