Beginning Time Alone with God (Youth)

Sunday, April 14, 2024

 

Even though they reigned with Christ in heaven, the seven churches were having a hard time extending his kingdom on earth. Some were experiencing persecution (Smyrna and Philadelphia). Some were harboring false teachers (Pergamum and Thyatira). Others had lost their first love (Ephesus), were dead in their complacency (Sardis), or had decided to serve mammon rather than God (Laodicea). The presence of Jesus’ kingdom was barely visible on earth. This is why the King dictated the letter: it was the last warning,, from his lips to their ears. His regents needed to get their act together because he was coming soon to take matters into his own hands.
