Transcending Time, Touching Eternity

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8)
It always happen that some people are never around when we need them.When help or encouragement is needed their phone is out of order. But you can never say of the Lord, yes by His own testimony to the apostle John, He has always been with His people in the past, is with them now, and will stay ever faithful in the future.
Although we human being finds ourselves trapped by time, Jesus Christ has time in His hand. This is done by the every action taken at the Cross 2000 years ago. Whoever offered a sacrifice and while doing so, remembered the true Lamb, who was slain for the sins of the world, was saved through faith in the Christ who would come. Whoever did not do this was not saved, even though he had a thousand oxen to sacrifice.
There is only one and the same salvation from Adam to Abel onward; it is the same salvation we have. It continued until Jesus Christ Himself come. But now, of course, it is no longer faith in the future Christ but in the Present One. The teaching has been one and the same from the beginning of the world and shall remain so until the end of the world. There has at all times been one and the same Christ, a Christ who is in the past, present and future - the One " who is, and who was, and who is to come."
Yes to the past..to the future, Christ reaches eternally in both directions. Yet He also find time to be an "ever present help in trouble." That is a comforting thought when present circumstances are difficult and the future looks bleak. He whom time cannot change has all the time in the world to watch over us ........ yesterday, today and tomorrow. Bless you and have wonderful time enjoying His presence and His fresh touch this weekend, I pray.
