Five Crowns

I stand in awe of our LORD...you know that we are not righteous, no not one, but by the BLOOD of the LAMB, JESUS! To think that we will one day lay our crowns at JESUS nail scarred feet...

As I was going over the list of crowns; it just struck me that we are not worthy of these, but yet, the LORD will give them to us...I can almost hear heaven's chorus, singing "Holy, Holy, Holy, Who was and is and is come again!"

Oh! how I long to be with HIM, and look upon the ONE who saved a wretch like me...GLORY to the KING of KINGS! Amen!

Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
