JESUS, A WITNESS TO JEHOVAH AND TO THE TRUTH

Jesus was a member of the nation to which Jehovah by the prophet Isaiah had said:”You are my witnesses.” (Isa. 43:10) In 29 C.E. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptizer. Jehovah anointed him with holy spirit and empowered him to ''proclaim the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah.'' (Matt. 3:16; Isa. 61:1, 2; Luke 4:16-19) Jesus faithfully carried out his assignment and became Jehovah's greatest witness ever on earth and is called with every right, the Faithfull Witness, Amen and the Faithfull and True Witness. (Rev. 1:5; 3:14) But what does it mean for Jesus to be a Witness to Jehovah?

JESUS A WITNESS TO THE TRUTH

Before the Roman governor Pilate, Jesus says:''For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” (John 18:37) To what truth did Jesus bear witness? It was God's truth, the revelation of Jehovah's eternal puposes. (John 18:33-36) The Greek verb fo bear witness to, also means declare, confirm, testify favorably, speak well (of), approve (of). Jesus confirm God's truth, by his ministry. In fact Jesus declare or preach that truth to others. But it required much more than talking alone. In an occasion Jesus said that he was the truth. (John 14:6) Yes, Jesus lived in such a way as to fulfill God's truth.—From Proclaimers of God's Kingdom-edited by the Jehovah's Witnesses, see also:''Who Is Jesus Christ?'' from the Official Website of Jehovah's Witnesses.
