"HE has made us kings and priests
to our GOD." Revelation 5:10
The LORD JESUS infinitely excels all
The LORD JESUS infinitely excels all
earthly kings, in that HE makes all
HIS subjects kings! HE has a crown
of glory for every subject. Oh, what
a glorious KING is this.
Oh sirs, it is better to be a poor member
Oh sirs, it is better to be a poor member
of CHRIST, than the head of a nation.
Oh, how infinitely happy are all CHRIST'S
subjects. They are all kings, all heirs,
all favorites, all sons.
Alas, where is there such a king
to be found, who makes all HIS
subjects kings?
There are many kings who undo
their subjects, but CHRIST makes
HIS subjects kings.
There are many kings who make
their subjects beggars, but CHRIST
makes HIS subjects kings.
There are many kings who put their
There are many kings who put their
subjects to death, but CHRIST died
that HIS subjects might live.
There are many kings who give
There are many kings who give
their subjects titles, but CHRIST
gives all HIS subjects Heaven.
Now, beloved, here is the excellence
Now, beloved, here is the excellence
of our King: HE makes all HIS
subjects kings and gives them
all crowns of glory!
"To him who overcomes, I will
"To him who overcomes, I will
give the right to sit with ME on
MY throne!" Revelation 3:21
JESUS CHRIST is an ENTHRONED King!
But, beloved, this is not all; CHRIST
not only sits there HIMSELF, but HE has
promised that all who overcome, shall
sit down with HIM upon HIS throne.
Now, I wonder where there is any
Now, I wonder where there is any
king but CHRIST, who allows his
subjects to sit upon his throne with
him. Alas! this would be treason
for a man to attempt it.
Oh, what a glorious King is JESUS.
Every one of HIS poor subjects shall
sit upon the throne with HIM.
One would think this very promise
would draw the whole world after
CHRIST. Oh, what great offers, and
privileges, and honors CHRIST bestows
upon all HIS poor followers. HE not only
makes them kings, but HE brings them
to sit upon HIS very throne with HIM!
O believer, you say that it would be
O believer, you say that it would be
an honor indeed, if could you but
look into heaven, and merely to see
CHRIST sit upon HIS throne. But this
honor have all HIS saints;
yes, much more--
HE makes them all kings, and grants
to them to sit down with HIM upon
HIS throne!
