Smyrna
Jun 2, 2013 • Jeff Beisel • Revelation 2:8-11
The second church Jesus addresses in Revelation is at Smyrna. In this letter, Jesus offers comfort and assurance to the church through the suffering and affliction they are going to encounter. Their hope and comfort is inheriting the crown of life that Jesus has promised to those who are faithful. This hope is secure because it is offered by the eternally existent God who knows His purpose and that he'll carry it out.
