The First and the Last

“And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not: I am the First and the Last” Revelation 1:17

He was the First-begotten. He said of Himself, “Before Abraham was, I am.” And John the Baptist said, “He was before me.” “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning with God.” He puts His right hand on us, that hand of power, and says in tenderest tones, “Fear not.” He draws us to Himself with that same hand and says, “Pillow your head upon My shoulder. Have no fear. You are Mine. I purchased you at a great price. Perfect love casts out fear.” He was First in His love for us when we were in sin. He is the Last One to forget or forsake us.

Blessed Lord, may we have that perfect love which casteth out all fear. Amen.

The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
