-7.  In the first of Jesus' letters to the churches in Revelation he commends and confronts the Ephesians. They cared deeply about theology and morality, but they had a deep deficiency -they lacked love for Jesus. We too can be like the Ephesians, doing much for the sake of Jesus' name yet all the while having a heart that is cold toward him. As we come to this passage, it is our hope that Jesus would help us rekindle our affection for him.
