Jesus’ shares his message to the church at Laodicea, and John’s writings turns to his vision of the Throne of Heaven.
Jesus speaks in John’s vision to the churches at Sardis, condemning them for being a ‘dead’ church & confronting them with a process to renew their hearts. He also tells the church at Philadelphia that He will vindicate & protect them. We are encouraged today by both to renew our own spiritual passion & trust in God in all situations.
Jesus speaks to the churches at Pergamum & Thyatira, telling them to protect the purity of sound doctrine in the Church. There should be no compromise to the foundational theology of the Bible: It is important to the Lord what we believe & how we protect that in our hearts & minds.
Jesus speaks to the church at Smyrna in John’s vision, commending them for enduring suffering & persecution. Today, we are encouraged to be faithful in all situations, for our reward is eternal life.
John shares Jesus’ words from his vision as he addresses the church at Ephesus, commending them for their endurance, and reminding them how they’ve lost their sense of their first love, Jesus. We are reminded today that without love, the Church’s work is lifeless.
