TODAY'S READING 2 Timothy 1:1-18
TOPIC: CROWN OF GLORY
TEXT: John 19:5 (KJV) Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!"
Jesus was crowned with thorns so you can be crowned with His glory. Christ suffered so you will not suffer. Peter the apostle began to let us know in his epistle that glory should follow after the sufferings of Christ (1 Peter 1:11). The question now is, has Christ suffered? If yes, then resolve to get nothing less but the glory that should follow.
Glory speaks of beauty and splendour, it speaks of honour and majesty. By reason of what Christ has done, you are to be a spectacle of honour, beauty and splendour. Therefore you don't have to continue in sin (reproach). If you can arm yourself with that mindset (1 Peter 4:1)!
My goal this morning is to establish in you that mindset that your life ought to be a display of God's beauty and splendour. Permit it to be deep-seated in your heart and you will see the radical positive effect it will have in your life and in all that concerns you.
PRAYER
My Father, My Father, crown all that concerns me with your glory in Jesus name...
