Revelation 1-3 – Day 25

The fact is that Jesus might be coming soon to take any one of us home to Heaven. Most of us have no real idea of when we will die and leave our earthly bodies. We should live heeding His advice in the rest of these verses we read today.

Revelation 3:11-13

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of Heaven from my God; and I will also write on them My new name. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The Thought

So many people have been disturbed or even left the church because of the first phrase today. Soon seems to be much longer in God’s mind than in ours! But He means what He says, and in this closing book of our Bibles, Jesus tells us three times that He is coming soon (Revelation 22:7,12 & 20)!

The fact is that He might be coming soon to take any one of us home to Heaven. Most of us have no real idea of when we will leave our earthly bodies. We should live heeding His advice in the rest of today’s verses. It even looks as though we will all have tattoos when we arrive in our Heavenly homes!

Action

Read Revelation 22 today and take to heart what Jesus is saying about those who get into the holy city. Ask Him if there is anything more that you need to do to qualify for a place there.

Think about the expression Hold on to what you have and ask yourself what you have. What is Jesus thinking when He says that to you personally? Why would anyone want to take your crown? What do you think your crown represents anyway? Every good thing you do, and every good word you say or prayer you pray adds another jewel in your crown! Be confident today!
