Advent 19

Omega



19. Omega

The Greek letter Omega is the last of the alphabet. It is the conclusion, beyond which is no more. Nothing is added to the sequence from that end. Our Savior is called not only the Alpha, but also the Omega. He is the beginning of order and meaning, and the beyond Him there is no more. He is also the beginning and the end of our salvation. He began it and He finished it, and beyond His work there is no more to be done. He is the beginning and the end of all virtues, of love and mercy and truth and faithfulness. He began Time and He will end it. He started the world on a path to redemption and Judgment, and He will most certainly bring it to its end. He directed all of creation and life and events from the beginning to benefit His people, and He will continue that direction to the end of the world. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, of all things.


 Revelation 1: 8; 21: 6
