JESUS: THE FAITHFUL WITNESS

Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is

to come,… and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness.

REVELATION 1:4-5

Jesus is the Faithful Witness; He will give a faithful testimony to build you up. When you have doubts, He will come to build up your faith. When you are discouraged, He will come to give you divine confidence. Jesus can be a Faithful Witness to you every time you need it. But you must ask for His help.

I'm ashamed of my doubts, because my questions impugn

Your integrity. Remind me again of Your faithfulness. Give me

confidence in the promises You have made.

Jesus is the Faithful Witness who came to witness to the people of the world that the heavenly Father loves them. But they did not receive the testimony of Jesus. Even though He was a Faithful Witness and He demonstrated it with signs and wonders, the world wouldn't believe Him. Jesus told Pilate, "I ... bear witness to the truth" (John 18:37); but Pilate rejected Him. Jesus faithfully declared the truth, but He was crucified because of what He said and did. Just as Jesus was faithful to the end, so He wants you to always be faithful, even if it costs you your life.

Jesus, You are my Faithful Witness; I receive you into my life as a sure

evidence of truth. I believe what You said in Scriptures. I praise You for

Your miracles and acts of kindness. I accept Your death as

forgiveness for my sins. Thank You for Your faithful witness

that gives me confidence and assurance. Amen.

Reading: John 19:7-15

Key Thought: Jesus will be faithful to tell you the truth.
