Seizing The Crown

                                                                                    2 Timothy 4:8
                                                    "Henceforth 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."

        While Paul was waiting to be executed, he thought about the greeting he would receive from the Lord when he entered Heaven. He thought about the crown that would be his, as he wrote to Timothy.  Paul had fought a good fight. He knew he had finished his course,and kept the faith. Paul was the greatest Preacher that ever walk this earth, except for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
        What anticipation of a glorious entrance into Heaven. It will be worth it all for us too, if we run with patience the race that is set before us  (Hebrews 12:1). It will be worth it all when we see Jesus and receive a crown of righteousness from Him. So let's welcome the discipline, pay the price that following Christ demands, and look forward to a glorious entrance into heaven.
        Amen!!
