Reveling in Revelation: Charting the Lukewarm Church


Jesus’ Invitation to a Lukewarm Church
Revelation 3:14-22

Jesus presents himself as:
To a church he presents as:
The church thinks it is:
When it is really:
Jesus makes this invitation:
The ones that reject this invitation:
The ones who receive this invitation:
 
the Amen
 
the faithful witness
 
the true witness
 
the beginning of God’s creation
 
neither cold
 
nor hot
 
lukewarm
rich
 
prospered
 
needing nothing
wretched
 
pitiable
 
poor
 
blind
 
naked
 
Buy refined gold to be rich
 
Buy white garments to be clothed
 
Buy salve to see
 
Receive the loving discipline by zealous repentance
 
Open the door to fellowship with Jesus
 
Jesus will spit them out of his mouth
Jesus will come into their church in fellowship
 
They will conquer
 
They will sit with Jesus on his throne

Conclusion:
Hear what the Spirit says to the churches, and put Jesus’ words into practice.
