Faithful Witness

Verse 5:"And from Jesus Christ,who is the faithful witness,and the first begotten of the dead,and the prince of the kings of the earth.Unto Him that loved us,and washed us from our sins in His own blood." Certainly it was Jesus Christ who came into the world,and He was "the Faithful Witness"... He was the Word in the flesh (John 1:1,John1:14.He was also the first begotten of the dead (1Cor.15:1-30,),and He will be the Prince of all kings in the sweet by and-by (Isaiah9:6,Luke 1:28-35).It is the blood of Jesus Christ that"cleanseth us from all sin"(1John1:7)."Without the shedding of blood is no remission "(Heb.9:22).We are redeemed by the precious blood(1 Peter1:18-23).Certainly in this day of liberalism and modernism,we should cry out as never before that it IS the blood of the Lamb that washes away our sins.
