I Am Alpha and Omega

Sometimes our Lord gathers all things up in one descriptive word, and offers it to us, as it were, out of an open hand, full, and complete. In such a word all the depths of His relation to the soul and to creation are held within.......as we receive, and digest it, all our fragmentary and scattered experiences draw together into Him.......having partaken at His table, we carry forth this vision into life; only to find that all future experience claims a place therein. Such words of Jesus are like spheres of light, into which all worlds are gathered, and where the past and future, the small and great, may all be read.
