Why do the scriptures(Rev.3:14)say that he was the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS??

He(Jesus) was the only one who got thru this life faithful and true to the words of God. He commited no sin..therefore faithful and true witness that it could be done.

Jesus was a Jew, a faithful Jew -- but, he did break the Jewish laws he had been taught to uphold. He broke them when people suffered because of them, and when the contridicted the greater law, that the essence of religion was to care for the poor, the widow... He was a true witness to God's love and not so beholden to religion as it was constructed (and still is constructed to hurt those most in need instead of helping).

Jehovah's Witnesses both witness personally and bear witness to others regarding God's personal name, his majestic personality, and Kingdom purposes. In doing so, they align themselves with Jesus Christ and the prophets.
(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah
(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus
(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”
(Acts 5:38,39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, You may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
