Study Notes

Introduction to the Theme

The previous year's theme focused on Christ indwelling the believer (Christ in you).
The Youth theme highlighted the influence of Christ indwelling us, which sets us for His glory.

Jesus Christ the Alpha and Omega

The theme for the 2023 ecclesiastical year for the Youth is 'Jesus Christ the Alpha and Omega, Testifying of His Glory and Marvellous Deeds.'
This theme climaxes a step-by-step approach to experiencing the personality and work of Jesus Christ.

The Alpha

'Alpha' is the first letter of the Greek alphabet.
Alpha means 'first' and denotes the one with a dominant role within a particular sphere.
Biblically, Alpha also means 'beginning' and Christ is the beginning (Gen. 1:1, John 1:1, 14).
This beginning refers to creation, i.e., the beginning of earthly life, and proves that Christ existed even before creation (John 1:2).
