Crown of Glory

Isaiah 62:3 - "You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God."

“Crown” is given to those who had won an athletic contest, the crown given to a soldier for valour in combat, or the crown worn by a king. In any case, it rewarded an extraordinary achievement. However, even though our salvation is a gift we do not earn, our God not only promises eternal life to those who follow His Son, He promises many extra rewards to those who obey Him. Jesus promised that those who would leave everything to follow Him would receive a hundredfold reward in addition to eternal life (Mark 10:29–31).

Though we must not forget that we do not earn our salvation, this verse shows that God’s faithful servants can expect a reward. When we, whether or not we are ordained elders, faithfully care for those under our authority, we can expect to receive an unfading crown of glory. He promises His faithful servants rewards for their obedience.

Let's ask the Lord to help us live in gratitude for these blessings and use them to glorify Him. As the word of God says “When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory” (1 Peter 5:4).

Have A Blessed Day!
