The entire universe belongs to Christ, the rightful heir of all things. As the Lord has chosen us, he has made us co-heirs, allowing us to claim his creation as our own through this sacred bond. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, and the joy and glory beyond words are ours forever because of him. Christ shares everything he has with his people.

He has placed a royal crown on the head of his Church, giving us a kingdom and declaring us a royal priesthood. He set aside his own glory so that we might be crowned with it. He won't sit on his throne until he's made a place there for all who overcome through his sacrifice. When the head is crowned, the whole body shares in the honor. This is the reward for those who conquer through Christ!

Christ's throne, crown, and all he possesses are ours. Unlike the world’s way of keeping things for oneself, Christ finds joy in sharing his happiness. "The glory which you gave me, I have given them." "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." His Father’s approval is sweeter to him when we share it. His kingdom’s honors are more satisfying because his people share in them.

His victories are more valuable because they teach us to overcome. He delights in his throne, knowing there's a place for us. He rejoices in his robes, embracing us within them. His joy is fuller because he invites us to join in it.
