"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." He was plainly stating that he was all of God, the only God of heaven and earth.
If we shall from henceforth see in him "all the fulness of the Godhead bodily"; if we shall approach him alone as the God of heaven and earth, as he told us we must do,—"no man cometh unto the Father but by me,"—our theology will be wonderfully simplified and the Bible will become easy to understand in its claims concerning the Messiah and concerning Jesus as the fulfilment of these claims. The power that inheres in Christianity results from the acknowledgment of Jesus as God, and it is the unequivocal teaching of the Bible, as we have seen, that he is God.
