Revelation 2


"I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds."
{Revelation 2:23} (NIV 1984) 

Hear the Word of the Lord for the church! He is not feeble, nor faint of heart when it comes to the purity of His bride. The vision of the Lord Jesus Christ given to the apostle John, is a vision of a holy, and powerful Lord, who is intimately involved in each local church. It is He who judges Christians on the basis of their actions and hearts. It is He who executes judgement. 

   The local church at Thyatira seems like a strong church. They love the Lord and are growing in their faith and service to Him. Yet there are some in their midst, who are committing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols. The Lord will kill them if they don’t repent. He will give them time to repent, and He will make an example of their leader as a warning. 

   Friend, Our Lord is serious about us living pure and righteous lives. We should be serious too! Repent! What grace the Father bestows on us, that He allows us an opportunity to repent. Oh, how He loves us! He will not allow us to be slaves to sin.
