“What Jesus thinks of the church” • Jesus, the One who persuades and is the Source of all creation… knows our works – whether good or bad • He wills NOT for us to be lukewarm (halfhearted, indifferent, unexcited, apathetic, or uninterested) • Some folks are way to nonchalant… • To be so disgusts Him!***
What have we learned? • We must not grow too comfortable with our physical circumstances! • (What does the Lord see spiritually?) • The Lord chastens and rebukes… because He loves us! • Letting Jesus in is a choice we must make! • (Will we open the door for Him?) • The one who overcomes will share in His rule! • We need to listen to and apply these lessons!
