2. What Christ Is Saying to the Church
Jan 10, 2021 • Sherard Burns • Revelation 2:1-7
One of the challenges to the church is that which is most important: to love one-another the way Christ has loved us (John 15:12). Jesus speaks this word to the church at Ephesus and to the church throughout history and this is His message: Fight to Love. Love is not simply an emotion but an active surrendering of ourselves for the good of another. The church at Ephesus had abandoned this and now were on the brink of being wiped out of they did not repent.
The Lord is calling the Bride, in a new and fresh way, to love like Him. 2021 is the year in which the world desperately needs to see Christians modeling and executing lives of sacrifice and surrender. In a word: LOVE.
