Anybody else love the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen as much as I do? 😂 Well, in the show and in the gospels and in Revelation 3:1-3, we see how Jesus has this way of seeing past or through the appearances we display on the outside and He sees right to our hearts.
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.’”
- Revelation 3:1-3 (ESV)
The List:
1. He sends messengers to His churches with specific messages.
2. Jesus has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
3. He knows our works or all that we do.
4. He sees our reputation, and sees through our reputation.
5. He recognizes when we exhibit false images of ourselves or misrepresent ourselves. He sees us like we are, not how we try to appear.
6. He calls dead churches to wake up.
7. He calls us to strengthen what we have that is good.
8. He sees when our works or our ways are not right in his eyes.
9. He points out to us when we are not in right standing.
10. He calls us to remember the good things we have received and heard.
11. He calls us to repent.
12. He warns us that if we are not awakened, that he will come again as an unannounced thief.
