I am the first and I am the last

I am the first and I am the last, there is no other God besides me. Isa 44:6.

Who among us can understand God with our minds? Can you understand that you have eternal life? Can you understand that you will one day leave your body and be lifted up into heaven?

I must say as in Psalms. 126. I am also like a dreamer. Nevertheless, I know it is true. Jesus has truly saved and redeemed me completely. I know that one day I will see Jesus and be with God for all eternity. How can I know it when no one can grasp or understand it? I can do this because. God's SpiritThe Holy Spirit convinces me of all things within me, and from within me flows the life of eternal life. I know one thing because. God is reality to me. I have been convinced. God in Jesus is the first, and I God, am the last, there is no other God besides me. Isa 44:6.

Here again it is Jesus who is pointed to. He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end of all life.

If I try to think about all that about God and Jesus and eternal life, I sometimes get completely confused because my own thoughts form their own opinions about God and that does not fit with the words of the Bible. But, my heart does not lie. I know who I believe in and who is my God. And I will be with Him forever, even while I am still on earth.

Jesus Christ is the first, and Jesus Christ is the last, there is no other God but Jesus Christ. (Freely translated from Isaiah 44:6).

That should be my greeting to you. Let Jesus be your beginning of your life and the end of your life. Then you can be completely safe even though everything is about to fall apart around your ears.
Amen.
