Our God - A to Z

- September 18, 2021

“For the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts says this, ‘I am the First and I am the Last; And there is no God besides Me." Isaiah 44:6 “Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last." Isaiah 48:12 [This is the 8th message of this series ] Continuing in this series of lessons, looking at excerpts above from the Jewish Scriptures , written by the Ancient Israel Prophet Isaiah, we will connect it with the prophetic last book of the Christian Scriptures: Chapter 1 'This is the revelation of Jesus Christ...' “I am the Alpha and the Omega" Revelations 1 [Alpha is the first and Omega is the last letter of the Greek Alphabet] The Apostle John wrote multiple times in this book that Christ Jesus is the Alpha and Omega -- the A and the Z, the First and Last, the Beginning and the End.

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
