Which Reminds Me

There are varying ways to interpret Revelation 2:17, the verse about the white stone engraved with a new name that will be given to the one who overcomes. There are those who interpret that as exclusively referring to a wedding in which the winning girl's new name is inscribed on the wedding invitations. However, that is not the interpretation that we discussed as children in MK school. I thought we were talking about the personal relationship between Jesus and each individual believer who is an overcomer in Christ. The church is the Bride of Christ and when Jesus returns to earth then history will change radically but not before then. Only Jesus has the authority to put all things at his feet. In the meantime many counterfeits and imposters may appear and deceive many.
