«Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness.» 2 Timothy 4:8
Jesus came to the world to make a great sacrifice. He gave everything He had. He gave His blood. He gave His life.
Paul loved Jesus and he felt so grateful that God loved and saved him that he decided to surrender his life to God. How did he do this? After he met Jesus, he decided to talk about Him every day of his life. He knew that Satan wouldn’t like this and would hinder his work. But he didn’t care. Talking about Jesus and being in Heaven one day was more important even than his life.
Paul was already an old man and he knew that soon his life would end. But he was happy that he had spoken so much about Jesus. He said: “I did my part! I was a good soldier for Jesus! I was a good runner for Jesus! I know my prize is in Heaven. I know God has a crown in store for me when He comes back!”
Let’s practice!
Design a beautiful crown that you also wish to receive in Heaven.
