Saturday

Scripture lesson: Revelation 1:4-8 “the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come.”

Time to reflect: This phrase is unique to the writer of Revelation and is an odd construction in the original Greek is very striking in the Greek and is a wonderful expression of God's eternal nature. At every moment in time we can look back on the God who was always there and forward to the God that will always be here.

Moving through the day: What does having an eternal God mean to you?

 4John,
      To the seven churches in the province of Asia:

   Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

   To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
 7Look, he is coming with the clouds,
      and every eye will see him,
   even those who pierced him;
      and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.

 8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
