A Seat with Christ

Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Vail, Colorado

"Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne." Revelation 3:21 New Living Translation

I have a feeling that the throne on which we will sit is quite comfortable and majestic, a place where we will not remember the pain and struggle of this present hour. Taking a photo of this "bench" will not be as important as sitting on it.

This promise of rest is for those who remain victorious as a part of the church militant (the church on earth). There are many struggles that tempt us to throw up our hands and say, "what's the use?" We are tempted to join the rest of the world and muddle our way through life.

Yet the Holy Spirit keeps us in this faith and is the power behind our life of faith. It is the Holy Spirit who continues to point us to God's victory through Jesus in his life, death and resurrection. This promise of rest is much greater than the temptation to give up.

If you are like me, you can't wait to see that place where we'll sit with Christ.
