Thinking with Chris Christian Vol. 6

Introduction

God does not make crowns for men. All men that wish to wear crowns must make their crowns. The crown of Christ made by Jesus is what He is wearing in heaven. Crowns are made with durable metals like gold and silver. Crowns are made from dreams because dreams create the path. Crowns are not to be worn by wanderers. Crowns are made in a known path. You can know whether you will wear a crown or not when you consider what it takes to make it. Apostle Paul knew that a crown of righteousness awaited him at the end of a known path because he has accomplished a clear vision.

In 2 Timothy 4:7-8, the Bible says, “7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

Everyone that wore a crown like Joseph, Esther, David, Jesus etc. did not dodge the battle of their path. There must be battles in every path. Joseph was accused falsely and imprisoned; he didn’t dodge it because that was his path. David knew there was a crown for him beyond Goliath. David killed Goliath but kept running from Saul because that was his path. Esther said “if I perish, I perish” because she knew she had to save her people. Jesus knew there was a crown for conquering death and satan. Jesus was asked to deny being the king of the Jews so that He won’t be executed; but He said, “for this purpose I was born.”
