When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades."
#revelation 1:17-18
This can only be Yeshua describing himself as "the first and the last", which means exactly the same thing as "the alpha and the omega". It is also a clear statement of his divinity. Verse 8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
#yeshua (aka #jesus) is the Almighty.

Shabbat shalom!
The lame man in Acts 3 had sat outside the Temple day after day, but Peter's faith allowed him to go through the gates, probably for the first time in his life.
What is the purpose of miracles? Is it to glorify God or to make people well? BOTH! God wants his people to be healed and healing them glorifies his name and draws yet more people to him. There is no more glorious testament to God than the grateful servant telling others of the wonderful things he has done. This lame man was healed in a dramatic, public manner, making a great evangelistic opportunity.
On the other hand, if miracles were only intended for evangelism, Yeshua would never have told people to keep quiet about some of them.
Shabbat shalom, y'all.
Today's message is a reflection on the movement for the past 20 years, how we used to come to the knowledge of the truth, and the challenges we face preaching the faith once delivered today. Live at 1pm central, message about 1:30.
