The Names of God - Faithful Witness

Faithful Witness Revelation 1:5a And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

A faithful witness is one who provides evidence or proof from having known or actually seen something. In the Greek, the word witness is “martyr” – one that gives testimony to the truth at the expense of life. Such are evident in the life and ministry of our Lord.

Jesus, you are the only One who has seen and known God, and with such a qualification you must be listened to as you speaks about the Father. Like you, I want to be a true witness speaking of the things which I have seen and heard. May I never fail to boldly declare by word and deed, the truth received from you.
