The Alpha & Omega Who Makes All Things NEW

The Alpha & Omega Who Makes All Things NEW

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
 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. Revelation 21:5-6

Jesus Christ is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  He has the 1^st and last words.  Think of it…. Man did not decide when he would be born and enter this world, and he will not decide when his life is over.

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27

But between his birth date and death date man has so much to say about himself, even in rebellion to the One who gives breadth.  But this is a mere passing illusion, the illusion that we are in control, can say and do what we want without reprisals or consequences.  Our only hope is to look to the One who has conquered death, gives new life and forgives sin.  He is the Alpha and Omega and He makes all things NEW.

Consider from Scripture  how He makes all things NEW… let Him give you a NEW year, trust Him.
