Part 7: Laodicea

June 19, 2022 • Pastor Rob Mayer • Revelation 3:14–22

Using imagery and illustration, Jesus confronts an affluent culture right between the eyes. Jesus here, is showing the self-reliant, great love and unmatched grace – this is really good news! – he’s wanting to set them free. He’s exposing their sin of self-trust that is deceiving them, so that they can enjoy something so much better. This whole section is grace – it’s a grace-filled, loving rebuke from Jesus to people whom he loves and lived, died, and rose again for – so that they could enjoy life abundantly – which is a life of need and dependence not self-reliance and independence.
