Jesus – The Faithful Witness of God
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.-Isaiah 55:4
1. Jesus Is Called “The Faithful Witness”
The Bible reveals Jesus Christ as the One who testified perfectly of God, with full faithfulness and truth.
Revelation 1:5 (KJV)
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth…”
Jesus is the Faithful Witness because He faithfully declared the will and truth of the Father.
2. Jesus Came to Reveal the Father
Jesus did not speak His own words, but delivered exactly what God gave Him.
John 7:16 (KJV)
“Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.”
John 12:49 (KJV)
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.”
Christ is the true Messenger of God, sent to make the Father known.
3. The Faithful Witness of the Truth
Jesus came into the world to bear witness unto the truth of God.
John 18:37 (KJV)
“To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth…”
All truth is found in Him, and through Him God speaks clearly to mankind.
4. Faithful Unto Death
A faithful witness remains true even through suffering and sacrifice.
Philippians 2:8 (KJV)
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
1 Timothy 6:13 (KJV)
“…Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession…”
He testified of God’s righteousness even before rulers, and remained faithful unto the end.
5. An Example for All Believers
Jesus is the perfect example for every servant of God who desires to walk in truth.
1 Peter 2:21 (KJV)
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.”
Those who belong to God are called to follow the Faithful Witness.
6. The Faithful Witness Who Leads the Church
Jesus remains today the true and faithful Witness, guiding His people.
