The End

The End

Revelation 22:12-14 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

Everything comes to an end, but with each ending there comes a new beginning. Movies conclude with a screen that says, “The End.” Books come to a final page that states, “The End.” This mortal life will end, and this year is quickly coming to an end. But movies often have a sequel and books sometimes come in series. The dead are raised into new life, and people are already shouting, “Happy New Year.”

Jesus says He’s the beginning and the end. The world was created through Jesus and the world will end after Jesus returns. Jesus is the beginning of everything and the end of everything, and just as with movie sequels, book series, new life, and new years, the end of creation will be followed by a new creation. In the book of Revelation John, the Apostle, says, “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,” and Jesus says, “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelation 21:1-5)

So, as this year comes to an end and the new year begins, let’s remember there is a day coming when all things will end, a day when, “…there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” A day is coming when all things will be made new.

Have a God Filled Week and a Happy New Year,
