Subject: Crowns we cast at Jesus feet real or not |
Bible Note: Just my opinion on the crowns. I think we've sorely missed the type of language used on these. Are we suggesting that we are going to have a large hat wardrobe in heaven? Shall we coordinate and all decide that today is the crown of rejoicing day, and another day we shall wear our crown of life? Honestly I think we've missed the point. The crown of life, is not a crown, it is life. The notion of crown is a metaphor. The crown is the thing itself. When God says He will give us the crown of life, he means that He will give us the reward of life. When He gives us the crown of righteousness He is saying to give us righteousness. A crown is a metaphor for the thing itself. So with this in mind, we are not going to throw down our righteousness, our life, and our rejoicing literally at the feet of Jesus. IF we wish to say that is what the 24 elders in Revelations represents (which I don't agree with) then at the very least we should say it is a complete acknowledging that all these things are from God alone and not ourselves, certainly not literally throwing down a wardrobe of crowns. Again, just my interpretation of the passages. This certainly is not an issue worth dividing anybody. But I highly encourage anybody interested to look at the verse references that have been giving and see if you don't agree. In Christ, Beja |
