CHRIST SPEAKS TO HIS
CHURCHES
Memory Selection: "Behold, I
ttand at the door, and knock: 1
any man hear my voice, and open
the door, J will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he
with -me." Revelation S:tO.
Lesson Text: Revelation 1:9-11,
17-1S; S:U-21.
For the last three Sundays of
September we are to have study
taken from the book of Revelation,
book which is hard for the av
erage student of the Bible to un
derstand, but which, for this very
reason, should challenge one to
deep and concentrated study.
In one sense, the book of Rev
elation is a letter sent to the
Christians in Asia Minor. How
ever, it differs from every other
hook in that it unfolds the future
from the particular angle of God's
WterSfeteriee -with the1 forces of
wickedness. A study of the book
will reveal that it deals with the
future; that the future is con
trolled by God alone; that history
moves in cycles; that clashes oc
cur between hostile forces; that
symbols, imagery, figures and an
gels are often used and referred
to; and that righteousness will
triumph eventually over evil.
John, the beloved apostle, is
the author of this book. At the
time of his wonderful vision of
Christ, he is supposed to have been
prisoner on the "isle that is
called Patmos" (Rev. 1:9). His
purpose in writing this book was
to encourage the Christians to
hold fast to their faith and, ac
cording to Dr. A. T. Robertson,
"The object of the whole book is
to lead to hope, courage and holy
living."
The seven churches to which the
letter is directed were all located

treograpncaj circle ' beginning
With his own home city of Ephe
8, going north to Smyrna and
Pergamos, southeast to Thyrati
ra, then south to Sardis, Phila
delphia, and Laodicea.
The first chapter of the Book
of Revelation may be divided in
to four divisions. In verses 4-8,
we have John's own description
of the Christ he knew. This, in
turn, may be divided into three
parts: The Christ of the Past as
the Faithful Witness and the First
born from among the dead; the
Christ of the Present who Loveth
Us, hath Loosed us and Made us
Royal Priests; and then The
Christ of the Future, the Ruler
of the Kings of the Earth who
some Day is Coming with Clouds
and Great Glory.
So overcome was John with the
glory of the living Saviour it is
no wonder that he "fell at his
feet as dead." But the gentle
words of Jesrus and his tender
touch, reassured John and encour
aged him. Jesus reaffirmed his
eternal and unchangeable nature,
his victory over death, his uni
versal majesty and authority, and
his control of all destiny in having
the keys of hell and of death.
J. F. Hart declares: "Deliver
ance from fear is found in Christ.
First, in who He is, the first and
the last Second, in His victory
over death. He was dead and is
alive forevermore. And, finally,
the fact that He alone has control
of the future the keys of death
and Hades. Bn the last two vers
es 'each church is thought of as
having its individuality, its cor
porate unity, expressed by the
thought of a representative angel)
in Christ's very presence'." I
For our consideration this week,
we have only the letter which was
written to the church at Laoda-j
cea. Not one word of praise is'
contained in the letter, and much j
of the condemnation is applicable:

had evidently set up a sort of
formalists religion which had
little meaning for them. There
was no seal and, consequently, no
vision.
The letter, however, closes on a
note of admonition. There war
still hope for the church! If the
lukewarm church would just "get
hot," it could receive divine ap
proval. "Be zealous, therefore,
and repent." Jesus told them to
turn to him for "true riches" and
for the clothing of righteousness
to cover the shame of their spir
itual nakedness, and to seek the
anointing of the' Holy Spirit that
would enable them to really see.
