Jesus Is Our Amen
“All the promises of God find their yes in Him” (2 Corinthians 1:20).
Jesus is the one who fulfills all the promises of God. In Revelation 3:14, when giving instructions for writing to the church at Laodicea, Jesus says of Himself, “The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.”
The word “amen” literally means “truly” or “so be it.” Most of the time we end our prayers with the word “amen.” In this verse, Jesus is saying he is the true Word, the one in whom all the promises are fulfilled, and the one who was there at the beginning with God.
He is the final word; the authority; the end of the prayer.
“All authority in heaven, and on earth has been given to me,” Jesus says in Matthew 28:18. Because he has the authority, he then gives us our instructions, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (v.19) Then he leaves us with a promise, “And behold I am with you always, to the end of the age” (v.20)
He is our Amen
He is Manna in the wilderness
He is the Bread of Life
He is the Lamb of God
He is the Good Shepherd
He is the Prince of Peace
He is Redeemer
He is King
He is Alpha and Omega
He is Lord
Amen
