Bible Note: hi hank and ed b--angel-1 here. Just got back-Jesus and i have been "elsewhere"Now this scripture has bothered me for a long time. because it "seems" to be saying that I should seek a "wreath" or reward.I didn't see why I should seek any reward--WHY?--yet, here it is in the bible. I always assume the bible is right and I have no understanding. so this is what I was shown---REV. 4:10--the elders "cast their crowns before the throne"--so I must seek a "reward" so that what I have to "cast" at His feet will be valuable in His eyes. In Him-angel1 |
