Some airlines have a frequent flyer perk called “companion passes.” This perk allows you to bring another person for free on any flight you take. With it, when you pay the price for a ticket, you get to designate somebody to fly with you free from cost. That person gets to enjoy the flight and gets to travel to the same destination as you, but it’s on the house.
God also has a companion pass program. It’s called partakers. The Greek word for “partakers” is metochos. It is a combination of two Greek words: meta meaning “with” and echō meaning “to have” or “hold.” Therefore, metochos can be defined as having or holding something with another person. It refers to those who’ve been called to participate in Christ’s rule with Him. The writer of Hebrews wants us to persevere because that is the only way we get to participate in and to become a sharer in all that God has in store for believers who follow Him. Partakers are not just “saved people.” Accepting Jesus Christ as your sin bearer gains you entrance into the kingdom, but it does not automatically grant you inheritance of the kingdom. There is a difference. To enter the kingdom, you have to accept Christ. But to inherit the kingdom means you are a companion of Christ who gets to participate in the benefits, privileges and rights of the kingdom.
So how do you become a companion? Through obedience. You become a partaker in God’s presence through adherence to Him. Jesus had to obey while He was physically here as well. That’s why you see examples of Jesus’ obedience throughout the Bible. He conformed to the will of God, justifying in His humanity, His right to be an inheritor.
And because of Christ’s work, we can now become partakers with Him—that is, “partakers of a heavenly calling.” What an awesome promise that we can “partner” with Christ in His work!
What are some current ways that you are partnering with Christ in His work in your home, neighborhood, church, and workplace?
