—Revelation 2:1-7
by: Jasmine Lynch.
We cannot hide from God. The song writer says, “His eye is fixed on you.” Jesus, who holds the power and authority over the Church, commended the church at Ephesus for four things: 1) Their hard work; 2) Perseverance; 3) Intolerance of wickedness; 4) Rejection of false apostles. Can Jesus commend you for these things? Even in the midst of doing these things, Ephesus lost their zeal and love for Christ. The warning to them, and to us, is to repent and return to your first love or be extinguished. Jesus will not be the head of a church that does not exhibit love. Your church should do a self-examination. What is your grade when it comes to love?
