"The Amen."-Revelation 3:14

The word AMEN solemnly confirms that which went before; and Jesus is
the great Confirmer; immutable, for ever is "the Amen" in all His
promises. Sinner, I would comfort thee with this reflection. Jesus Christ
said, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest." If you come to Him, He will say "Amen" in your soul; His
promise shall be true to you. He said in the days of His flesh, "The
bruised reed I will not break." O thou poor, broken, bruised heart, if thou
comest to Him, He will say "Amen" to thee, and that shall be true in
thy soul as in hundreds of cases in bygone years. Christian, is not this
very comforting to thee also, that there is not a word which has gone
out of the Saviour's lips which He has ever retracted? The words of
Jesus shall stand when heaven and earth shall pass away. If thou gettest a
hold of but half a promise, thou shalt find it true. Beware of him who
is called "Clip-promise," who will destroy much of the comfort of!
God's word.

Jesus is Yea and Amen in all His offices. He was a Priest to pardon and
cleanse once, He is Amen as Priest still. He was a King to rule and
reign for His people, and to defend them with His mighty arm, He is an
Amen King, the same still. He was a Prophet of old, to foretell good
things to come, His lips are most sweet, and drop with honey still-He is an
Amen Prophet. He is Amen as to the merit of His blood; He is Amen as to
His righteousness. That sacred robe shall remain most fair and glorious
when nature shall decay. He is Amen in every single title which He
bears; your Husband, never seeking a divorce; your Friend, sticking closer
than a brother; your Shepherd, with you in death's dark vale; your Help
and your Deliverer; your Castle and your High Tower; the Horn of your
strength, your confidence, your joy, your all in all, and your Yea and
Amen in all.
