April 18 – Jesus Christ
Revelation 22:12-16
“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
Who is Jesus?
He is the Alpha and Omega.
He is the First and Last.
He is the Beginning and the End.
Whatever God starts, He will finish.
This is nothing like we who are His creation. We start many things and never finish them – but not God. He is the beginning and He is the end.
Revelation 22:14 is the final beatitude. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city."
Verse 15 speaks of those who are in the lake of fire. We’ve already seen them begin their torment in Revelation 21.
Jesus tells us one more time who He is. He is the root and offspring of David. David was the founder of the first Jerusalem. Jesus Christ is the founder of the New Jerusalem.
