We Will Reign with Christ

Of the many wonderful gifts given to us by Christ is the opportunity to reign with Him during the millennium. This is hard to imagine, but it's a promise from God. First, Jesus promises His disciples that they would sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28). Second, Jesus promises that all who overcome (true believers) will rule His enemies and reign with Him as He judges evil (Revelation 2:26-27). Third, Jesus promises that those who overcome will be given the right to sit with Him on His throne (Revelation 3:21), and finally in Revelation 20:4 Jesus promises that those who will be martyred during the tribulation will reign with Him. Let me summarize this, during the millennium, Christ won't reign alone, Christians will reign with Him. Talk about an honor and privilege!
In light of the constant bad news, greed, religious persecution, crime, "homosexual marriage," abortions, and government shutdowns hope is only found by keeping our eyes on Jesus. Every ruler on the earth during the millennium will be followers of Christ. That means no more political squabbles, no more scandals, nor more lobbying, nor more homosexual marriage licenses, no more abortions, and no more government shutdowns.
Think about this, all of God's saints (all true believers in Christ) from Adam to Christ's second coming will join together to reign with Christ. How about this, Moses, David, Noah, and us serving together in unity with complete righteousness. With God the unbelievable becomes believable!

"If we endure, we will also reign with Him..." - 2 Timothy 2:12
