One Head Worthy of a Crown - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

On the unforgettable day when Patmos became Paradise, the apostle John saw what you and I will see. He saw One who sits on the throne. “Around the throne there were twenty-four other thrones with twenty-four elders sitting on them.” (Revelation 4:4).

The number twenty-four probably represents the twelve Hebrew tribes and the twelve apostles – the old Israel and the new covenant. The elders represent us, and what they do is what we will do. “They put their crowns down before the throne and say: ‘You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, because you made all things’” (Revelation 4:10-11).

I cannot wait to see you there. One glance into the eyes of the King and you will know heaven has only one head worthy of a crown. And it’s not yours, and it’s not mine.
