“You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” — Isaiah 62:3
Many Christians commonly print today’s meditation verse on tombstones and memorial cards. However, this verse is not meant for the dead; rather, it is spoken to the people redeemed by Christ.
For a king, a crown and a royal diadem symbolize authority and majesty. In this verse, we see a strong emphasis on value and honour. The images of “a crown of beauty” and “a royal diadem” are powerful, representing beauty, uniqueness, and special favour. God’s people are not ordinary; they are precious in His sight. The word “crown” points to something valuable and exalted, reminding us that every person has a significant place in God’s divine plan.
To understand the depth of this verse, we must first grasp its context and purpose. The prophet Isaiah is well known for delivering messages of comfort, hope, and restoration to the Israelites. After returning from exile, the people of Israel faced many challenges in rebuilding their lives in Jerusalem. The imagery in this verse reflects God’s promise to lift them up again. Isaiah writes this to assure a people once enslaved and exiled that their honour would be restored after much suffering.
In the same way, as New Testament believers who were once slaves to sin but redeemed by Christ, we are transformed into valuable vessels in God’s hands. This verse reminds us of our inner worth. It encourages us to understand our identity as God’s beloved children—created with purpose and significance.
All who are redeemed are made by God to be kings and priests. As Peter declares:
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” — 1 Peter 2:9
Dearly beloved, though poverty or struggles may press us in this earthly life, those redeemed by Christ are not beggars but kings. That is why Isaiah continues in the next verse:
“It will no longer be said to you, ‘Forsaken,’
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, ‘Desolate’;
But you will be called, ‘My delight is in her,’
And your land, ‘Married’;
For the Lord delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.”
— Isaiah 62:4
What a glorious truth—that we are a crown of beauty and a royal diadem in the hand of the Lord! Let us rejoice in this honour.
