Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today. HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
Revelation 4:10–11 is part of the vision Jesus gave John. In this scene
of heaven, we see that “the twenty-four
elders fall
down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and
ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: ‘You are worthy, our
Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things,
and by your will they were created and have their being.’”
Jesus promised various rewards for those who faithfully serve Him on earth (Matthew 5:12; 1 Corinthians 3:14; Revelation 22:12). Some of those rewards are crowns (James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4; Revelation 3:11). These may be the crowns that John saw the elders lay at
the feet of Jesus. In their words of worship, they indicate that, despite what
they may have done on earth to earn these crowns, only Jesus is truly worthy of
glory and honor. In the presence of the Lord Jesus Himself, all good deeds we
have done will pale in comparison. A crown will seem but an insignificant gift
to present to the One who gave His life for us (Galatians 2:20).
The elders’ response is most likely the way we will all respond when we receive
our reward from Jesus. We will be so overcome with gratitude because of what He
has done for us that worship will be spontaneous. Regardless of what we endured
on earth, a priceless crown will seem a paltry offering, but it will be the
best gift we can give Him. Although the Scriptures do not state it
specifically, it is likely that we will all follow the example of the
twenty-four elders in casting our crowns at Jesus’ feet.
