Episode 025 - Revelation Revealed - Sardis

The letter to the church at Sardis is a gloomy and a
heartbreaking letter, to a very gloomy and a heartbreaking church
because this church, according to Jesus, is dead. At the end of
Revelation 3, Verse 1 Jesus says, “You have the reputation of
being alive, but you are dead.”





This has to be the ultimate shame, to have the Lord Jesus
Himself, declare that you are dead. By definition the church is a
place where God lives, a place where Christ lives, a place where
the Holy Spirit lives, a place where Christians are alive, but
not in this church.





This church had a reputation that it was alive, but in fact it
was dead.
