crown = prize, the blessing of having His Name upon us. It is not literal, it is spiritual.

Nice theory.. so the Crown is not real but metaphorical?..
I agree... wonder what ELSE is metaphorical in the New Testament?.. i.e. the Sabbath.. born again.. water and wine.. etc..

Interesting subject that!... could make a good conversation..
The literalists(arians) would hate it though..
