Correct.
 To
the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true
Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: 15`I know
your deeds, that you are neither cold
nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16`So because you
are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.
Revelation 3:14-16 (NAS)
Jesus is the Amen:
The word "amen" is of Hebrew
origin and means "firm." In a
figurative sense it means "trustworthy,"
"surely," or "so be it." When
a prayer is ended with an "amen," in essence you end
saying "surely" or "let it (the prayer) be
so."
Jesus is "firm" and "trustworthy."
Through Jesus we can be assured of the promises of
God:
"For as many as may be the promises of God, in Him (in Jesus) they are
yes; wherefore also by Him (Jesus) is our Amen to the glory of God through
us." 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NAS)
Jesus is the Faithful & True
Witness:
The word "witness" is from the Greek
word "martus" meaning witness or martyr (one
who suffers death for a certain cause). Jesus
came to this earth so that He might be a witness of
His Father...and to die for our sins:
For
the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth
were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No
man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God
(Jesus), who is in the bosom of the Father, He has
explained Him. John 1:17-18 (NAS)
Jesus said to him,
"Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not
come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen
the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10"Do you not believe that I am in the
Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I
say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but
the Father abiding in Me does His works. John
14:9-10 (NAS)
Jesus is the Beginning of the
creation of God:
In Revelation 1:17 and in Revelation
2:8, Jesus is spoken of as the first and last.
Jesus was not a created being. Jesus was with
God in the creation and was involved with His Father
in the creation:
In
the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. 2He was
in the beginning with God. 3All
things came into being by Him, and apart from
Him nothing came into being that has come into
being. 4In Him was life, and the life was
the light of men. John 1:1-4 (NAS)
For He (the
Father) delivered us from the domain of darkness,
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved
Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins. 15And He (Jesus) is
the image of the invisible God, the first-born of
all creation. 16For
by Him (Jesus) all things were created, both
in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities-- all things have been created by Him
and for Him. 17And He (Jesus) is before
all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18 He (Jesus) is also head of the body,
the church; and
He (Jesus)
is the beginning, the first-born from the dead;
so that He Himself might come to have first place in
everything. 19 For it was the Father's
good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him
(in Jesus), 20and through Him (Jesus) to
reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace
through the blood of His (Jesus') cross; through
Him, I say whether things on earth or things in
heaven. Colossians 1:13-20 (NAS)
