“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.” Revelation 1:8
Everything is wrapped up in the babe who was wrapped in swaddling clothes. In a tiny bundle of newborn humanity is the sum total of all truth and meaning.
In that crude cradle of creation, lay the Creator of the universe. His Incarnation condensed onto one representative human life the start and finish of history and the cosmos. Though He presented Himself in time and space as a participant our history, He is beyond history. He is the Lord of eternity, the Almighty. And we knew it not.
The grand spiritual, “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”, way it succinctly, “We didn’t know it was you.”
But it was Him and is Him and always will be Him. What child is this? On, so much more than we could ever imagine. He s Alpha and Omega, the A and the Z. He starts things and finishes them. He always was and yet, is present. And He always will be. Divine mystery is flesh. John wrote that we could touch Him, the Word of Truth.
"What wondrous love I this, that caused the Lord of bliss” to come and live among us?
We didn’t know who He was and then, in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, John allows us to see what He saw and He conveys to us His vision of the risen and exalted Christ, the Eternal One.
He is, from start to finish, the start and the finish. All of time is wrapped up in Him who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
