Jesus' Message to the Church

In Revelation 2 & 3, we have the only words of Jesus to the church. We have just studied these 7 messages that Jesus spoke to 7 individual churches in Asia Minor.

Here is what I believe Jesus would say to Cornerstone Church:

Compliment
From Thyatira (Rev 2:19), “I know your works, love, service, faith, and patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.”

Criticism
From the Parable of the Sower (Mark 4:19), “…the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in are choking out the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

Instruction
From Philadelphia (Rev 3:8), “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

Warning
From Laodicea (Rev 3:20), “Remain faithful, and keep a place set for Me at your table. If you have gotten too busy for Me, then repent and let Me back into your house. Let’s share meals again together.”

Promise to over comers
From Ephesus (Rev 2:7), “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”

Just some thoughts I am having today.

Peace,
