May 14 Morning Devotional | Royal Heirs With Christ | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, May 14 | “Fellow heirs with Christ.” —Romans 8:17 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Romans 8:14-17 (NASB)

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Devotional Video Transcript:

The boundless realms of his Father’s universe are Christ’s by prescriptive right. As “heir of all things,” (Hebrews 1:2) he is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and he has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heir-ship which the Lord has ratified with his chosen people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made over to us for our everlasting possession. All that he has he shares with his people.

The royal crown he has placed upon the head of his Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings. He uncrowned himself that we might have a coronation of glory; he would not sit upon his own throne until he had procured a place upon it for all who overcome by his blood. Crown the head and the whole body shares the honor.

Behold here the reward of every Christian conqueror! Christ’s throne, crown, scepter, palace, treasure, robes, and heritage, are yours. Christ deems his happiness completed by his people sharing it. “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one.” (John 17:22) “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” (John 15:11)

The smiles of his Father are all the sweeter to him because his people share them. The honors of his kingdom are more pleasing because his people appear with him in glory. More valuable to him are his conquests, since they have taught his people to overcome. He delights in his throne because on it, there is a place for them. He rejoices in his royal robes since over them, his skirts are spread. He delights the more in his joy because he calls them to enter into it.
