Remember Your First Love | Revelation 2: 1–7
Do you remember falling in love for the first time? What was it like? Earlier in ch. 1, when John saw the glorified vision of Jesus, he was told to write to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Here, the first letter was addressed to the church in Ephesus that had forsaken their first love. This church was still championing the truth of the gospel; they were still doing good works and enduring patiently. But Jesus is going to call this church to turn to her first love. So following in our passage, we’ll see: a) Jesus sees our patient endurance. b) Jesus sees what our hearts love most. c) Jesus promises us life in paradise.
