To the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:18-25

January 24, 2021 • David Mathis

In this sermon, Pastor David Mathis examines Jesus' message to the church at Thyatira. Jesus praises elements of the church and rebukes their tolerance of sin. In this letter to the church, Christ makes clear that he is patient toward them. But his patience toward them is not indefinitely. He will, in time, exact fitting justice, and Christ's justice is never gratuitous and never overdone. Christ's letter to the church culminates with Christ himself reminding them that he is the greatest possible thing that he could promise to his church. Jesus will give us himself. We will see him face to face. We will be his, and he will be ours. Our final reward is to be with our Lord.
