HISTORY’S GREATEST WELCOME HOME. Revelation 2:7-3:21.

Imagine a soldier returning from war—what a party! Even the Prodigal Son received a ring, a robe, and a fatted calf. What will God do for you?

“I will give the victor the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in God’s paradise” Revelation 2:7.

“The victor will never be harmed by the second death [hell]” 2:11.

“I will give the victor … hidden manna. I will give him a white stone and on the stone a new name is inscribed that no one knows except him” 2:17. (Jesus will give you a new name—your special secret—carved in stone!)

“I will give him authority over the nations… I will give him the morning star” 2:26.

“The victor will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before My Father and his angels” 3:5.

“I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God… and My new name” 3:12.

“I will give the victor the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne” 3:21.

What a list! Jesus will shower you with blessings:

1. Eat from the tree of life (interesting how the story returns to the Garden of Eden) and be untouched by hell.
2. Eat hidden manna.
3. A secret name carved in stone by Jesus—that only the two of you know.
4. Authority over nations.
5. Possession of the morning star.
6. White clothes.
7. Your name listed forever in the Book of Life
8. Jesus will proudly name you before his Father and the angels.
9. You will be a pillar in God’s house, with names of God’s city, God the Father, and God the Son written on you.
10. Sit with Jesus as a fellow-victor on his throne.

When you are discouraged, remember the blessings–and the INCREDIBLE HOMECOMING waiting for you!
