—Revelation 2:1-7
by: Jeff Hazen.
Christ, who holds the seven stars (angels in this vision), had very specific instructions for his church at Ephesus. He praised them for their perseverance, hard work, and rejection of false prophets. Yet, in the midst of their hard work, they had forgotten for whom they were working.
Have you forsaken Christ, your first love? If so, repent of it immediately and make him the center of everything you do. The Ephesian church was warned that if they did not repent, he would destroy their church. With repentance, sin would be overcome, and eternal life would be given. Don't you think that eternal life is the better choice?
