Jesus is not in the church of Laodicea – he is outside, knocking to be let in
Ephesus – loveless church, lost their first love. Jesus will take away their lamp stand
Smyrna – the persecuted church – everything was taken from them. Jesus said that they were rich.
Pergamos– the compromising church – started to become corrupt and tolerated bad doctrine
Thyatira – the corrupt church – had a lot of power and abused that power. Sardis – the dead church – have a name, but not loving God, or pleasing to God
Philadelphia – the faithful church – little strength. Persevered and remained faithful to Jesus Laodicea – the lukewarm church, they were rich, but Jesus said that they were poor.
They appeared Christian, but Jesus was not in the church.
Lesson for us: Jesus wants to spend time with us. Fall in love with Jesus, He wants to fellowship with us.
