Daughters of the King But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10 In this world crowns represent power, legitimacy, honor, and triumph. You may be shaking your head in bewilderment as you ask John, the writer of today’s Bible verse from the Book of Revelation: “What qualifies me to wear a crown?” If you think that, look again at who spoke the words John recorded. It’s Jesus! Your Savior and King—yes, your King! He is making a promise to you, a promise you can trust. God the Father has adopted you into his very own family. In love, he has made you a princess; that’s how heaven sees you (Ephesians 1:5)! You have become his legitimate heir. He’s chosen you to be his very own child! Your position and inheritance could not be more secure. It will never perish, spoil, or fade. No thief can steal it. It’s kept safe in heaven for you (1 Peter 1:3). None of this would be true if not for Jesus. He, too, wore a crown. A brutal crown of thorns encircled his head as he suffered and died for our sins. Then, bursting from his grave, the risen Savior-King triumphed over death, capturing the crown of life. Prayer: Words cannot express, dear Lord, my humble gratitude and exquisite joy in knowing you have claimed me as your child. Keep me ever faithful as I look forward to the crown of life you are keeping safe for me in heaven. Amen.
