To the Church in Laodicea

Story Time David Lanham

Externally they looked good, but internally they were struggling

THE LORD OF THE CHURCHES by John Moody John the Apostle THE LORD OF THE CHURCHES by John Moody

Nero (AD 54-68) Heavy persecution Muratorian fragment (170-190) Smyrna

Church Father Irenaeus (AD 185) Domitian (AD95) Church Father Irenaeus (AD 185)

‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.

15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot 15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

(Hos 12:8) Israel boasts, I am rich. I’ve made a fortune all by myself (Hos 12:8) Israel boasts, I am rich! I’ve made a fortune all by myself! No one has caught me cheating! My record is spotless! Deuteronomy 8:11-20

18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

What does it mean to refined by fire?

1 Peter 1:6-7 “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

The word (paidue/παιδευω “discipline”) is closely related to (paidi/παιδια “children”)

21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Application Internally: buy from me White garment Salve for the eyes…
