Listen from:
In England a Christian was preaching the gospel to a crowd gathered on the street corner. A man, driving past, shouted, “Sir, you’ll be getting a half-crown for that job!”
“No, sir, you’re wrong,” replied the speaker instantly. “The Lord Jesus doesn’t give half crowns. He gives whole crowns to those who serve Him faithfully.” And we read that in heaven they will cast their crowns at His feet. (Rev. 4:1010The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (Revelation 4:10).)
