The honours list.( Revelation (5 v 1-14)

Every year we have an honours list,David Beckham a famous footballer received a knighthood not just for being a footballer,but  for the charity work he is involved in.Consider a man who turned water into wine,so meeting the need at a wedding,He fed thousands of  hungry people,He healed many people,He raised the dead,delivered people from evil spirits,calmed stormy sea.Thirty seven miracles are recorded,although he did many more miracles  that were not recorded.Of course one would have thought He would have been honoured by His people,by putting a crown on his head,instead they put on His head a  crown of thorns.You would have thought they would have praised Him but they made plans to execute Him.You would have thought they would have placed Him on an houours list ,instead they placed Him on a cross. But that's not the end of the story ,for He is now in heaven crowned with glory and honour.There is coming a day ,oh yes it's coming, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow,in heaven and on earth,and under the earth,and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.( Philippians 2 v 10-11)
