Revelation 22:13 – I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Was Jesus a prophet who pointed to God, or the God who spoke at the beginning?
John begins his Gospel with the first words of Genesis and puts the Word there before anything was made. Seven days from Genesis to Revelation on one claim: that the one who spoke at the beginning is the one who stands at the end. The week asks whether God is someone and not something, why Christians say one God in three persons, what Jesus claimed and let others say, how the churches pray and baptize, and why the first Jewish Christians gave him the titles Isaiah keeps for God. Islam, Judaism, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Oneness Pentecostals and the creedal churches are each quoted in their own words.
