He Is The Alpha And Omega Series
Contributed by Monte Brown on Jan 25, 2013 (message contributor)
Summary: The series of messages on End Times for Today will take the words from Revelation chapter by chapter and reveal the blessings that are promised within these pages.
The Alpha and Omega
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning saith the Lord, "which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8 KJV
Jesus Christ declares that he is "the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Who is and who was and who is to come, for he is the Almighty." MB
He is the first letter of the Greek alphabet Alpha, which in Greek numerals has a value of one, and the last letter of the Greek alphabet Omega, which literally means great.
He is all things. He is number one and all greatness.
We have all heard of Jesus Christ, and hopefully all of us have become part of his family.
However do we really know the depth of Christ.
For instance in the Bible there are at least 251 names that describe Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In Revelation 1:8 He declares that he is the Alpha and the Omega, yes he is the great “I Am” God Almighty.
Introduction
In Matthew 22:32 God says; 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
I would like you to consider the question that Micah asked in Micah 7:18-19. Micah starts verse 18 off with a question, "Who is a God like unto thee,”
So our theme for the message this morning is: “Who is the Alpha and Omega like unto thee” that can:
Look at what Micah 7:18-19 says;
18 Who is a God like unto thee, Pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
He retaineth not his anger forever, because He delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us, and will subdue our iniquities. You thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19 KJV
Prayer

B. When God pardons our iniquity it means that he has freed
us from those sins.
C. Psalms 32:2 regards; "Blessed is the man unto whom the
LORD imputeth not iniquity,"

III. Retain not his anger against us?
A. He is not a god who keeps his anger stored up.
B. Nehemiah 9:17 says; “They refused to obey, And they were not mindful of Your wonders That You did among them.
But they hardened their necks, And in their rebellion They appointed a leader To return to their bondage.
But You are God, Ready to pardon, Gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, Abundant in kindness, And did not forsake them.”
Is there another god that is ready to:
• Ready to pardon
• Gracious and merciful
• Abundant in kindness
• Slow to Anger!
There is none!
There is only one god that can do all of this and that is Alpha and Omega, the great I Am!

IV. Delight in mercy?
A. Contrary to what the world wants to tell us about God he
does take more delight in mercy, he does not take delight
in persecution.
B. God gets more pleasure showing loving kindness towards
us.
C. Jeremiah 33:11b "for his mercy endureth for ever:" Gods
mercy never stops; he will show it to us forever.
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,”
His mercy endureth forever, His mercy is Abundant Mercy!
