As we continue to listen to the discipleship lessons in the seven letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 we are up to the church at Sardis who are encouraged to complete their "deeds" which Jesus declares are unfinished.
The work of public witness is both important and urgent and is the work that we need to be finishing. In our urgency, however, let us not forget that we are doing the work of Jesus. Turn to him, ask for the eyes to see the opportunities to participate, the courage to step into them, and the wisdom to know what to say or do that will further the work of Jesus.
Do you have one or two people in your life who can help you check your blind spots? These people are a gift to us to faithfully follow Jesus. Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Don't forget that you can find our discipleship menu for this series on our website under the Next Steps tab and growing, join us as we seek to follow Jesus together.
Is there someone you know who really needs to hear this message? Why not share it with them and see what God does through it.
