Revelation Pt 11 The Knocking Savior

May 27, 2025    Isaiah Wilson

In this convicting message from Revelation chapter 3, we explore Jesus' letter to the lukewarm church of Laodicea. Despite their wealth and self-sufficiency, they were spiritually bankrupt and completely blind to their condition. Jesus uses some of the strongest language in Scripture, comparing their faith to the nauseating lukewarm water that plagued their city.


The Laodicean spirit of comfortable Christianity and spiritual self-deception threatens many churches today. Yet despite His harsh words, Jesus reveals His heart of love through tender discipline and an incredible invitation. He stands at the door knocking, offering true riches, pure garments, and spiritual sight to replace their false prosperity.


The passage culminates with perhaps the greatest promise in all seven letters - the opportunity to share Christ's very throne. This message challenges every believer to examine their spiritual temperature and asks the crucial question: Are we hot or cold in our faith, or have we settled into a dangerous lukewarmness? The knocking Savior still waits patiently for us to open the door to deeper fellowship and authentic faith.
