I know that you have little strength, but you have keptmy word and not denied my name. —Revelation 3:8bLittle, But MightyToday’s verse was written to one of the seven churches, the church inPhiladelphia. The Philadelphian church is one of the only two for which Jesushad only praise (Smyrna is the other). At first, this might seem confusing. Jesussays Philadelphia has “little strength,” so it would make sense for Him tocriticize some of what they were doing or not doing. However, He promisesthem open doors “that no one can shut” and to make their persecutors “comeand fall at [their] feet.”What did the church of Philadelphia do to merit such praise and promises?Jesus says they kept His word and did not deny Him. Learn more about the Love Christian Center by visiting their website at www.lovechristrianctr.org
