Laying Crowns At Jesus' Feet
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."It is possible to earn a crown and then to lose it again. Wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? May God grant that it will not happen to us. John 19:5 tells us of a mock coronation when they crowned the Lord Jesus with a cruel crown of thorns. What a demonstration of the depravity of fallen man. In Revelation 4:10-11, the elders take their crowns and give them to Jesus saying, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power." I want to have crowns to lay at His feet at that time. O the utter shame of a Christian who does not have at least one crown to lay at His feet. He wins the crown for us as we yield to Him. The crown is rightly His, for He has won. I desire to be able to lay many crowns at His blessed feet. What about you?
Some of the crowns are:- Crowns for runners: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25
- Crowns for soul winners: 1 Thessalonians 2:19
- Crowns for anticipators: 2Timothy 4:8
- Crowns for faithful ones: James 1:12
- Crowns for true pastors. 1Peter 5:4
- Crowns for all of the redeemed, crowns of gold. Revelation 4:4
