The End

How often do we see these two words, “THE END”? Maybe at the conclusion of a book we are reading or something that we are watching or somewhere we are going.

Here we are at the end of another year, and it has made me think of several verses that have these two words in them:

“Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end” (John 13:1).

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth” (Romans 10:4).

“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned” (1 Timothy 1:5).

“The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer” (1 Peter 4:7).

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end” (Revelation 22:13).

As we come to THE END of 2014, how good that we can continue to count on the Lord who has brought us through, and who has promised, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:1).
