Thirteenth sermon in a small series of expositions on the letter of Revelation of John Revelation 3.14-22 Christ's message to a lukewarm church 14 To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation: 15I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot! 16So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth; 17for you say, I am rich and well-to-do and have no need of anything, and you do not even know that you are unhappy, yes, miserable, poor, blind and naked. 18I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire to enrich yourself, white garments to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed, and eye drops to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19I rebuke and discipline those I love. So be zealous and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and knock; If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his house and dine with him, and he with me. 21To him who overcomes, I will give to sit with me on my throne, just as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
