As we finish up chapter four of Revelation today, we will see the 24 elders who represent the church casting crowns before the feet of the One on the throne. And from the evidence John gives us in this text, we must conclude that this one on the throne is none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
The casting of their crowns is an act of submission by the elders to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords- an example which we all must follow if we want to experience true joy and peace in our Christian lives. True peace and joy comes to those who know their place in life, and our place is to worship God as our creator who created us for His good pleasure.
