Text: Revelation 2:8-11
In our human nature, we want to win, be the victor, the boss, the conqueror. This causes us to watch in suspense to see who is going to get the final rose, the golden buzzer, the million-dollar check, the championship trophy, or even win the election. We want to know who gets the prize. Jesus offers an eternal reward called the “crown of life.” The prize is available to all, but few will receive it. We invite you to listen today, to consider how this “crown” has been offered to you and what you must do to receive it.
