"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17). Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you (John 15:13-16)
Jesus Was there in the Beginning and Will Continue into Eternity
Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the One and only. There was nothing made without Him (John 1:1-3). Yet, with all of His Glory, He humbled Himself for the purpose of redeeming sin-full mankind. He came as a servant (Philippians 2:7). Jesus gave His life for us on a Cross meant for criminals. A Cross meant for us. " ...He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). And He did it once and for all times. Forgiving us all trespasses. Erasing the handwriting of ordinances that was against us nailing it to His cross (Colossians 2:13-14). Jesus is our way back home (John 14:6) His Crucifixion forgives us of the transgressions made by Adam (Genesis 3). Jesus promised to be with us always, so He left with us (whosoever will believe) His Holy Spirit to comfort lead and guide, even until the end (John 14:16-17). That is to say, from the beginning until the end, He is with us always. Afterall, we (whosoever will believe) are more than disciples, He calls us friends.
"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me (John 15:3:4). Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you (John 15:15).
