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.
