What we do in life echoes in eternity

This morning for our group time we discussed the book that we are reading as a team while we are here "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ". We were looking at chapter two that looks at Jesus and his diety. It talks about how God calls him self the Alpha and the Omega, and I like this analogy, because in the greek alaphabet there is no before Alpha, and there is no after Omega, they are the beginning and the end. In just the same way God is the Beginning and the end, there is no before him and there is no after him, there is no beginning and end for God, he just always is! In revelation there are two different verses that refer to the Alpha and the Omega, one is God speaking and the other is Jesus, and how can two be the Alpha and the Omega unless they are one. One of my favorite verses in the bible is "Truely truely I say to you that before Abraham was I am," and that is Jesus speaking. I like it because it is a very subtle way to show the diffrence between man and God. Abraham has a tense in that sentence, and it is past, but Jesus just is! We went to the law and political campus today, and I met students with Nicole, who is from Montana State, she is a very sweet girl, I like her. The two of us had a very good day, we talked to two people who were already believers so we gave them information about the Church we go to in hopes of helping them get plugged in. The campus was very interesting there were people walking around trying to sell the students Communist propoganda. I also feel like they are the most culturally aware of everything that is going on in the world, one of the guys that we talked to talked about the shooting at Virginia Tech, which surprised me I didn't think they would know about that. This was a very positive day and kind of rejuivinated me and encouraged me to keep going and keep meeting people, and making connections, because as much as I love doing it it is very stressful and tiring! But on Saturday we get to go to San Gimiango which I hear is absolutely beautiful, and has some old fortresses, and things of that nature, so there will be many more pictures on saturday. Quickly I would like to mention an ongoing thought process about the bible. I love its use of metaphores and I think that my particular favorite, is fruit. It uses the term through out the bible and I feel that it is really very important! I just wish I had a better understanding of what it exactly ment, and what it's relative or figurative level is. "Go and bring forth fruit." -John 15:16
