Revelation 3:11-13 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. he who overcomes, I will make him a pillow in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the church.
Jesus promised to come quickly. Two thousand years is a very short time for Jesus, who has always existed.
Jesus has another warning. "Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." It isn't a question of someone stealing your crown. It is a question of God taking your crown and giving it to someone else, because we are not worthy to wear the crown. We must overcome the world. All sin can be put in three categories, lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and pride of life. Sometimes God gives us a task to do for Him. For some reason we do not depend upon Jesus to help us and we get discouraged and do not complete the task God has given us to do. God will give the task to someone else and we loose the blessing Jesus had planned for us.
Even if we fail Jesus will forgive us and give us another chance to follow His plan. Jesus says, "He will make the overcome a pillar in the temple of God and he shall go out no more". A pillar speaks of stability and going out no more speaks of security. We can have stability and feel secure in Jesus all our life only in serving Jesus. Christians are often persecuted for their faith. Jesus will identify us with the seal of His name and we will see Jesus face to face. Jesus said, "If you have an ear listen to what the Sprit says. We need to kneel and ask Jesus to come into our life, to cleanse us of all our sins, and save our soul.
