== Commentary ==

~~{{stub}}~~The third chapter of the Book of Revelation contains 3 mini-letters to the churches at [[Sardis]], [[Philadelphia]] and [[Laodicea]]. These 3 mini-letters were part of a total of seven mini-letters written by the [[apostle John]] after he received a number of visions from [[Jesus]]. ===[[Letter to the church at Sardis]]=== ===[[Letter to the church at Philadelphia]]=== ===[[Letter to the church at Laodicea]]=== The letter to the church at [[Laodicea]] is a call for the church to stand out from the rest of the town and be useful. Jesus spoke into the context of the Laodiceans who were known for the poor quality luke-warm water supply. This was in contrast to the cold refreshing water of near-by [[Colosse]] and the comforting warm water of near-by [[Hierapolis]]. Rather than being luke-warm and useless he called for them to be hot or cold, both of which were useful and good. Likewise, although materially wealthy and known for their healing eye ointment and textile industry, Jesus rebuked the church as actually being poor, blind and naked. Yet the letter ends with the gentle invitation to open the door to Jesus.
