Season after Pentecost
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:8

We often reflect on beginnings and endings: the first date with a now spouse; high school graduations; the birth of a baby; the death of a loved one; the start of a new job; the closing of a congregation. Yet, in the story of God, we encounter the One whose beginning precedes everything, and the One in whom the whole cosmos finds its completeness: the Lord God, who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

May our lives be caught up in Your life, God of eternity. Let us hold our joys and sorrows with the humility that comes from living in awe of Your timeless majesty. Amen
