What does Revelation 3:21 mean?

Jesus continues His promise to whoever responds to His call for a cordial welcome, thereby overcoming lukewarm faith. He promises to give that repentant overcomer the honor of sitting with Him on His throne. Jesus mentions that He sat down with His Father on His throne.

Hebrews 8:1 describes Jesus' present position as that of sitting at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven. Someday, however, Jesus will leave the throne in heaven and occupy a throne on earth. The angel Gabriel told Mary that her child Jesus would "be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end" (Luke 1:32–33). Undoubtedly, the promise to the repentant overcomer at Laodicea anticipates the privilege of participating in Jesus' kingdom administration.
