Laodicea 10 Conclusion
This letter was relevant to John’s audience, and it has been relevant to every generation since. But this letter also holds out a tremendous encouragement to those facing the pressures of persecution, especially as the times of tribulation are approaching.

Laodicea 9
This delightful verse, well adopted by evangelists, shows the very heart of Jesus, who is overwhelmingly willing to come and fellowship with anyone who is prepared to open the door and allow Jesus into their lives.

Laodicea 5

Laodicea 2
In the mountainous regions of modern-day Turkey, the water source can arrive at two quite different temperatures. In some parts, the water can be heated by thermal springs and can be a luxuriously warm temperature. In other parts, the water can be cool spring mountain water. Both are delightful in their own way.

Laodicea 1
As with all the letters, Jesus begins with a description of himself. Jesus is the faithful and true witness who did not turn back and who did not deny his heavenly Father and the gospel that he was entrusted with. He resolutely walked to Gethsemane and suffered the cross for all mankind.
