Faithful Witness:
“My covenant will I not break,
nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Once I have sworn by my holiness
that I will not lie unto David.
His seed shall endure forever,
and his throne as the sun before me.
It shall be established forever as the moon,
and as a faithful witness in heaven.’”
~ Psalm 89:34-37
“Grace be unto you, and peace,
from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come,
…and from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness…”
~Revelation 1:4,5
A witness is someone
who is there when something happens,
who can verify its having taken place.
A witness is someone
who has first-hand experience or knowledge.
A witness is someone
who is able to stand solid,
bearing up under the weight
of the burden of proof.
A witness is someone
who is a threat to those who conspire
against the truth.
A witness is someone
who is responsible to hold someone else accountable
for promises made intentionally.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen…
Through faith
we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do appear.”
~Hebrews 11:1,3
Jesus
is full of the substance of faith,
for He is witness to everything
which is inside and outside of the realm of time and space.
Jesus
is witness to, and can verify evidence of, things not seen (by anyone else)
because He was, and is, and will be there.
Jesus
offers us the gift of faith,
the substance, the evidence,
the Truth verified.
“Wherefore seeing we also
are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus…”
~Hebrews 12:1,2
