Amen

“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:”

-Rev 3:14

Jesus is the very form and embodiment of AMEN!! Wow---I love this—He is speaking here to John and refers to Himself as AMEN!! Wow---I never stopped to think about this…this word is so common now we lose the value of it.  According to Blue Letter Bible the word means the following: verily--a) at the beginning of a discourse - surely, truly, of a truth b) at the end - so it is, so be it, may it be fulfilled. It was a custom, which passed over from the synagogues to the Christian assemblies, that when he who had read or discoursed, had offered up solemn prayer to God, the others responded Amen, and thus made the substance of what was uttered their own.

Jesus is verily---He is the substance of what is spoken!! Since we don’t understand this today its easy for us to laugh when someone says it out of place according to us---or when someone overuses it. But only God knows the heart of the person saying it.  AMEN is Jesus---Amen is the essence of Jesus’ truth and promise!!  Jesus is THE AMEN!

I like what someone wrote about AMEN (read below):

The word "amen" is a most remarkable word. It was transliterated directly from the Hebrew into the Greek of the New Testament, then into Latin and into English and many other languages, so that it is practically a universal word. It has been called the best known word in human speech. The word is directly related -- in fact, almost identical -- to the Hebrew word for "believe" (amam), or faithful. Thus, it came to mean "sure" or "truly", an expression of absolute trust and confidence. -- HMM
