In this exploration of Revelation chapters 1-3, we’re invited to examine the letters to the seven churches and their profound relevance to our lives today. The central message revolves around Jesus’ intimate knowledge of each church’s strengths and weaknesses, offering both commendation and correction. We’re challenged to consider how we might be falling into the same traps of losing our first love, compromising with worldly values, or becoming lukewarm in our faith. The imagery of Jesus walking among the lampstands reminds us that He is present in our midst, both comforting and convicting. As we reflect on these letters, we’re called to guard our hearts against the three primary attacks of Satan: persecution, deception, and seduction.
