THE SEVEN CHURCHES – LESSON 6

SARDIS

Sardis, the fifth church of the seven, lay inland of the Roman province of Asia (Southeastern Turkey today) near the junction of the roads to Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum. In the 6^th century B.C. under King Croesus, it was known as the Kingdom of Lydia and was one of the wealthiest cities known. It was the first to mint gold and silver coinage and was famous for its arts and crafts. Its ruler, Croesus, became a legend by name for riches.

Sardis was ruined both physically and financially in 17 A.D. by a great earthquake from which it never recovered. 

Jesus speaks to Sardis in Revelation 3:1-6 where he condemns the church as a group. He said in verse 1 that they are alive physically but dead spiritually. Their works were not good. He tells them to remember and hold on to that which they had originally received and had been taught. They must repent of their backslidden condition or else they would be suddenly destroyed.

However, Jesus said there were a few out of the many that remained that were pure. These few (verse 4) “shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy” and in verse 5, “shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out (their) name out of the book of life…”

White raiment indicates the purity of the glorified body. We also see “white raiment” in Revelation for all heaven’s citizens (3:18), where the 24 elders surround the throne (4:4), the martyrs (6:1), the redeemed multitudes (7:9), and robes made white by the blood of the lamb (7:14). Jesus will also come on a white horse (19:11) with his heavenly armies riding on white horses (19:14) and clothed in white.

Jesus said that the few in verse 4 that are pure will not have their names blotted out of the book of life (v. 5). This gives an indication that the “dead ones” (non-believers or perhaps backslidden believers) will be blotted out of the book of life. Those not found in the book of life will be eternally condemned.

There are many in today’s churches who profess to be Christians but are spiritually dead. They have never been born again. If they wish to wear the robe of white hereafter, they must repent from dead faith (which is not faith) and dead works (living) and receive the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and its Christ. 

Do not be like the typical “Christian” found in Sardis.   Be like the overcoming ones who had not defiled their garments and were found worthy through the blood and righteousness of Christ

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Faith is of utmost importance to every Christian. We cannot please God without faith. It is an impossibility yet, so many people live in hope instead of faith. They are hoping that someone will get saved, or hoping that their finances will come in.

In the story of the two blind men that heard that Jesus was near they followed him. (Matthew 9:27-31.) Following him was next to impossible because they were blind. Yet they must have heard what he had done. Because they said in verse 27, “…Thou son of David, have mercy on us.” 

How they got blind is unknown, but they wanted to see. They were determined to receive from Jesus and cried out. Jesus went into a house and the blind men followed him in. Jesus didn’t stop when they were outside the house and do anything. These men were determined to get to him. He was their hope, but they had faith in him to bring healing. They had moved from hope to determined faith.

Jesus spoke to them and said in verse 28, “…Believe ye that I am able to do this?” That put the responsibility of faith into the blind men’s court. They replied, “Yea, Lord.” They were not hoping anymore. They had moved to receiving faith. In the natural it was not a possibility. They were blind. People don’t naturally recover from blindness. But they heard of what he had done. Faith comes by hearing. Then when they heard he was nearby they had “bulldog” faith that grabs ahold and doesn’t let go. They went after their healing with determined faith.

In verse 29 it tells us what Jesus did. “Then touched he their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith be it unto you.’” According to their faith? Yes. Their faith is what activated the healing. Jesus acted in accordance with their faith. Just like the woman that touched the hem of his garment and was healed that acted in faith, they too received their healing.

In verse 30 it says, “And their eyes were opened…” Because of their faith they received. Faith sees oneself healed before receiving the healing. That is faith.

Are you desiring something from the Lord? I can tell you that you must see it as already done before receiving, then you will have it. It wasn’t their crying out to the Lord that brought healing. It was their faith in Jesus that brought it. 

Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. Every promise is ours when we act on it in faith. But we must believe we receive it before we have it. That is faith. Do you need a miracle? Be it according to your faith.

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

It’s a fact you’ll never know how strong your anchor really is; Until you have first gone through some storms in your life. I’m so glad I know that my Anchor who is Christ Jesus still holds onto us His children safely; Even though the ship of this life is getting tattered and torn from the journey. Have a blessed day and keep your eyes off the storm; And onto The Anchor…Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Inside Your Heart! HCC

                       When you look inside your heart, 

                       What do you hope to find? 

                       A kind and loving person? 

                       Or are you of a different kind? 

                       Everyone is different, 

                       But God checks each heart for sure. 

                       Are you humble, smart, and grateful? 

                       Do you think of others first? 

                       When you leave this life, 

                       What will be your legacy? 

                       It’s a lot to think about. 

                       Does it have to do with money, 

                       Or is it about faith in Jesus Christ? Let’s see! 

                       I would think, the most important thing to do, 

                       Is your walk with Jesus Christ, 

                       And to know how much he loves you. 

                       To be kind and good to others, 

                       Would make your Savior smile. 

                       To give your heart to Jesus, 

                       That would make your life worthwhile.
