Jesus Creation Witness (3.14-16)

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3.14-16)

Court Judge In John's gospel, Jesus creation witness often begin: "Truly, truly, I say to you."¹ The Greek for "truly" is "Amen." It is possible that when Jesus Christ is called "the Amen," it is a reminder of his truthfulness. Jesus promises can be relied upon. Jesus is "the witness" on whom we can rely and who is true. A witness must have seen with his own eyes that of which he tells. He must be absolutely honest, so that he repeats with accuracy what he has heard and seen and he must have the ability to tell what he has to say, so that his statement may make its true impression on those who hear.

Butterfly of Creation Jesus Christ perfectly satisfied these conditions. Jesus can tell of God, because he came from him. He is able to tell his message, for never did another human being speak as he did. Jesus Creation witness is because he is "the ruler of God's creation." He began the process of creation. Jesus is, "dynamically the beginning." The word for beginning is "arche." God is the "arche" of all things, that is, all things find their beginning in him.
