These are the last few verses of Revelation chapter three, which finishes Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea:
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
I really like that Jesus insists it is those that he loves that he disciplines. I have experienced this in my own life in ways that I did not experience before I recommitted my life to Jesus after being away from the church for so many years. I read through this thorough list of commentaries from Biblehub on Revelation 3:19 and I thought I would share the link as it contains input from several different scholars: link
Lately I have been really struggling with some after affects of my relapse into addiction a few years ago, and I really felt the impact of the word "victorious" that Christ is using here. Sometimes Christianity is peaceful and joyful and sometimes it truly is a battle. I know that through Christ I can do anything because of his strengthening me.
