Wednesday's Word: Ha'ed Ha-Ne'eman/ The Faithful Witness

 

 

 

"So Moses took the blood, splattered it on the people, and said, "This is the blood
of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."
(Exodus 24:8) 

"As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners
from the waterless pit.  Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today
I declare that I will restore to you double." 
(Zechariah 9:11-12)

"He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many."
(Mark 14:24)
. 

 "To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him
who is and was and is to come, from the seven spirits before His throne, and from
Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings
 of the earth.  To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood..."
(Revelation 1:4-5)

*The title, "Faithful and True Witness" serves as a reminder to the church of Laodicea-
and to all believers-the importance of spiritual authenticity and commitment. The
Laodicean church is admonished for its lukewarm faith, and Christ's faithful witness
stands in stark contrast to their spiritual complacency.  His call to repentance is
a call to align with His truth and faithfulness.

 

For believers, Jesus as "The Faithful and True Witness" serves as both a comfort
and a challenge.  It is a comfort in knowing that our faith is anchored in the One
who is eternally faithful and true.  It is a challenge to live lives that reflect His
truth and faithfulness, bearing witness to His transformative power in a
world that desperately needs His light. 

 

The title "The Faithful and True Witness" is a powerful reminder of Jesus Christ's
unique role in God's redemptive plan. It calls believers to trust in His unchanging
nature and to emulate His faithfulness and truth in their own lives.
