Topic: Outcome of doing his father's will
Text: Revelation 22:11-14
INTRODUCTION: The Lord God Almighty, creator of heaven and Earth will render to every man according to His deed (Roman 2:6). He rewarded Jesus Christ's faithfulness to His will by giving Him all things. He was highly exalted. He was given a name above all other names, crown of glory, power, authority, dominion, kingdom, throne, everlasting life, riches and wisdom, strength, honour, glory, blessing etc. John 3.35, Matthew 11.27, Luke 10.22. Let us analyze one by one the outcome of doing His father's Will faithfully.
OUTCOME OF DOING HIS FATHER'S WILL
1. Jesus Christ was highly exalted in heaven above all angels, on Earth above all creatures and above all creatures underneath the earth. He was exalted far above all principalities, powers, authority, dominion, might etc. In heaven, on Earth and underneath the earth including the sea.
2. Jesus Christ was given a name that is above every other name. The Bible says that at mention of the name of Jesus, all knees should bow of things in heaven, on Earth and underneath the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Mark 4.41.
3. Jesus Christ was crowned with glory and honor after suffering even unto death, and that He should taste death for every man to the glory of God. This made God to be well pleased with Him. John 17.22.
4. Jesus Christ was given dominion, kingdom, throne of David, power and authority in heaven, on Earth and underneath the earth; that all people, nation's, and languages should serve Him and His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and the kingdom shall not be destroyed. Luke 1.32.
5. Jesus Christ was given everlasting life and that He should in turn give this life to as many that believe in Him. The Bible says, He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3.36, John 1.4, John 5.26, John 17.2-3.
CONCLUSION
The Bible says that God will render to every man according to His works as his deed deserve. Good reward Jesus Christ for what He did Jesus Christ will likewise do the same for His followers. Revelation 22.12.
