Revelation 3:18-22

Conclusion of the Laodicean letter Revelation 3:18-22: These brethren had to learn what was really important. Jesus expressed His love for these brethren by the rebuke He gave. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." He challenged them to turn from their earthly riches to true wealth! True riches are found only in faithful service to the Christ.

Jesus gave a great invitation to this lukewarm church. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." We often apply the idea of Jesus at the door to the sinner. Here it applies to the saint also. Jesus wants to come in to us, and dine with us. This is a picture of the intimate relationship Jesus desires with His followers."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
