Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Jesus also said that He is the first and the last just a bit later in the Book of Revelation. {Rev.1:17, 2:8} And then, near the end of that message closing the Word of God, He says “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” {Rev.22:13}

In other words, there is nothing outside of the Lord Jesus Christ! That is also the root of a beautiful old hymn,
    He Is My Everything, He Is My All.
          He Is My Everything, Both Great And Small.
    He Gave His Life For Me, Made Everything New.
          He Is My Everything, Now How About You?

What do we need outside of, or other than, Jesus? God has promised that He will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. {Php.4:19} And the simple truth we should take from that is the all we need IS Jesus! He is after all: My savior, my healer, my silver and gold, my deliverer, my provider, He is the Christ, the Son of God, the Lamb of God, He is Lord, the Way, the Truth, the Life, He is the Resurrection, the Bread of Life, the Light of the world, the lover of my soul, He is the King of the Jews, He is the King of Kings.....He is my Brother, and more!

If I were to summarize, I believe that I would repeat myself by saying He is my everything, He is my all!

“Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth.” (Psalms 73:25)
