Day 28 – The Almighty
Rev 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Good morning, reader! I pray that this study has been a blessing to you! I know it has been to me thus far. I love studying the names of Jesus because it reveals His character to us. So many titles have been attributed to Him in the scriptures so God must have a reason for this, amen?
Today’s name is quite interesting. It shows us that although Christ is known as the second person of the Trinity, He is considered Almighty God. This is not taken lightly. It is because of this that the Jews in Christ’s day were so upset at Jesus revealing that He was God. Jews believe there is only one God.
There are 44 occurrences in the King James Bible of the words “the Almighty.” Forty three of these occurrences are in the Old Testament. Only once is it found in the New Testament and it is in today’s verse. Isn’t that interesting? Christ is God and we are taught this in the New Testament in many verses. The verses below bless me so much because it depicts the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, taking on flesh in order to redeem us! What a great God we serve! Amen?
Php 2:5-7 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
1 Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Joh 8:56-58 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. (57) Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? (58) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Lastly, today’s verse is the “sister verse” to Isaiah 44:6, which states that God, Jesus Christ the Almighty, is the first and the last. What more proof do we need? Praise the Lord! \o/
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
