 Jesus is also "the faithful and true witness." In prophecy he is often associated with faithfulness, truth, and righteousness, for he is completely trustworthy as a servant of Jehovah God. (Psalm 45:4; Isaiah 11:4, 5; Revelation 1:5; 19:11)  He is the greatest witness for Jehovah. In fact, as "the beginning of the creation by God," Jesus has declared God's glory from the very start.  (Proverbs 8:22-30) As a man on earth, he bore witness to the truth.  (John 18:36. 37; 1 Timothy 6:13)  After the resurrection, he promised holy spirit to his disciples and told them: "You will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth." From Pentecost 33 C.E. onward, Jesus directed these anointed Christians in preaching the good news "in all creation that is under heaven." (Act1:6-8; Colossians 1:23) Truly, Jesus deserves to be called the faithful and true witness.  The anointed Christians in Laodicea would benefit by listening to his words.
