Seven letters to seven churches, each meant for all of them, and for us. To congregations under pressure, from persecuted Smyrna to self-satisfied Laodicea, the living Jesus says three things. He knows us, even our little power. He calls us to repent of drifting, compromise, and comfort. And he makes us conquerors by his own victory: “The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered.” He is knocking. Open the door.
