What would you expect Jesus to say to a faithful church? The church in Smyrna is lauded for their faith and receives a surprising letter. The letter tells them they will be persecuted and how they should respond to trials and persecution. This passage is a reminder that trials and persecution are part of the Christian life, regardless of the faithfulness of the church or believer.
