AMEN and AMEN
AMEN is a Hebrew word meaning, “This is true.” It is transliterated in several languages similar to the word Hallelujah, which is also a Hebrew word (Praise the LORD). We say AMEN, usually after something is said that we agree with during a conversation, or during a sermon. But Jesus would say it before He said something.
For example in John 3:3; “AMEN, AMEN, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” And in John 5:19, “AMEN, AMEN, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.” In some Bibles this AMEN is translated Truly, Truly or Verily, Verily. But why does Jesus say it first rather than at the end like we do, and why does He AMEN Himself?

This past week Betty and I visited Scott & White Hospital for a couple of days while Betty was having some issues taken care of. God put us on the top floor therefore, I spent a lot of time in the elevator and came in contact with a lot of people. As I gave out my usual greeting of “How are you today?”, I was amazed at the number of people that would break into tears and would share about the illnesses that had struck their families. Many times in our two day stay, I found myself kneeling in prayer with complete strangers.
