Great Reward Found In The "Low Seat"

[Mr. M]

Blessed In Tribulation
Matthew 5:
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil
against you falsely for My sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven,
for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Love Your Enemies
Luke 6:
35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and
your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is
kind to the unthankful and evil.
36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

And Here Is Your Reward
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying,
Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.

Revelation 21:
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

Is eternal life in heaven the greatest of rewards?

Nearness to God is the greatest reward. That is what is implied here.

Luke 14:
10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited
you comes he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you will have glory in the presence
of those who sit at the table with you.
11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
