Reward

“And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible”
(1 Corinthians 9:25).

The following account illustrates the fact that our lives now are determining the reward that the Lord will have the joy of giving us in a future day in heaven.

An elderly Christian had a dream. In the dream an angel came with a crown of marvelous beauty, blazing with diamonds, and said, “This was the crown designed for you when you were young, but you refrained as a young Christian from laying down your life at the feet of Christ, and it is gone forever.” The angel went away and returned with a plainer one, beautiful, though with far fewer jewels. “This was designed for you in middle age, but you gave your days then to an ordinary, leisurely life of pleasure, and it is gone as well.” The third time the angel came with a plain circlet with no jewels on it, and said, “This is your all for eternity.”

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown” (Revelation 3:11).
