The Letter To The Church of Laodicea, Part 1Audio (MP3) Notes (PDF)Recap in 10 TweetsIt is interesting to note that Jesus writes 7 letters to 7 churches…and Paul writes 7 letters to 7 churches. #WordStrongBy examining the 7 letters of Jesus and the 7 letters of Paul, we discover a profound correlation. #WordStrongThere is a very specific application of Paul’s letter to the Colossians to the Laodicean Church Period. #WordStrongIn Col. 1&2, Paul addresses the doctrinal issues the church in the Laodicean Period has faced. #WordStrongIn Col. 3&4, Paul addresses the practical issue the church in Laodicea has faced…RELATIONSHIPS! #WordStrongPhiladelphia was the church of the OPEN DOOR. Laodicea is the church of the CLOSED DOOR. #WordStrongPhiladelphia is the only letter of Jesus with no CONDEMNATION. Laodicea is the only letter with no COMMENDATION. #WordStrongJesus said to the church in Smyrna: You’re POOR, but you’re RICH. To the Laodicean church, He said: You’re RICH, but you’re POOR. #WordStrongBecause of poor water quality, Laodicea got its water from 2 neighboring cities: Colossae (cold) & Hieropolis (hot water.) #WordStrongLaodicea was known for producing & exporting an eyesalve. Interestingly, eyesalve is the very thing Laodiceans need spiritually. #WordStrongThe post Revelation 3:14–22 [Session 39] appeared first on #WordStrong.
