To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.—Revelation 3:21
Jesus’ humility to us, His creatures, is always astounding to me. Jesus overcame the world and sat down with His Father on His throne, and He promises that we will do similarly!! He gives this precious promise to all who hold fast to what they have and persevere...to all who overcome this world by faith. As believers, we are already overcomers and conquerors through Him who loved us. The end has already been written. We WILL sit on His throne with Him and with Him rule and reign! Revelation 2:26-28 tells us:
The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
The Morning Star (Jesus) has already dawned in our hearts (2 Peter 2:19) but someday we will have Him in all His fullness. We will be clothed in white garments and our names will never be blotted out of the book of life.
Believers will be pillars in the temple of God and enjoy an unshakable, eternal, secure place in His presence. In that day, He will write on us His name. According to John MacArthur, in Biblical times, one’s name spoke of his character. Writing His name on us then means imprinting His character on us and identifying us as belonging to him. ❤️❤️
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18, ESV)
