The Essential Jesus, Day 88

Hold on. This phrase can be used to describe so many parts of our life. Read how Jesus uses this from Revelation 2:12-29 in day 88 of the Essential Jesus reading plan on YouVersion.com.

While “hold on” can be used in a lot of different contexts, here, we see Jesus using this as a way to encourage the people to keep firm, have resolve. In other words, be intentional about what it is that we are holding on to. If we act like we don’t care and are very flippant about our beliefs, we will not have the resolve that we need to be able to hold on.

People don’t need to be reminded to hold on during the good times, but during the trials and the struggles. As believers in Christ, the people in this passage were going through struggles and Jesus was reminding them to hold on. Stay firm. Jesus will reward them for their faithfulness. And, he will reward us for ours if we will do the same.
