2 Cor. 1 :20 says that Jesus is the Yes and Amen to all the promises of God. He is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied. God in the flesh came to fulfill all of what He promised so as to not have any promise go unfulfilled. A mere man could not do this. God in the flesh is the answer to all matters concerning our doctrine and faith. Jesus always told the truth as He is the Truth; He always showed the only way to the Father as He is the Way; and He is the life we all need to receive the Life of God in us and for all of eternity for He is the Life.
Jesus is the Yes and Amen also in that He always obeyed the Father, never wavering nor in any way rebellious to the Father. He completely submitted Himself both inn His humanity and in His divinity to the will of the Father for the plan of redemption determined before creation was for the Son to take on flesh to redeem humanity back to God and inherit eternal life with Him.
No human being can do this, only God in the flesh can. And He did when the Son assumed a human nature to live the perfect life of Yes to God the Father. It is God who is the only Savior, (Is. 43:11), and Jesus is the Savior spoken of in Isaiah, therefore, He is the divine Savior promised through His incarnation.
We can rejoice that our Savior is perfect in every way, being God in the flesh, and that He will never fail us because He always stays true to the will of His Father, never at odds with Him, but always the Great "Yes" and the answer to all the promises of God.
