Be Different than Indifferent! (Rev. 3:14-16)

Be Different than Indifferent! Rev. 3:14-16 Bible Talk Outline A. Jesus faithfully proclaims ultimate spiritual truth 1. He is a faithful witness/proclaimer (v. 14a, Rev. 22:6), unlike those unfaithfully indifferent 2. He is a Truth-telling witness/proclaimer (v. 14b), unlike the half-changed indifferent 3. He is the new-creation witness/proclaimer (v. 14c, Rev. 1:5), unlike the half-changed indifferent B. Jesus finally rejects spiritual indifference (vv. 15-16) Spiritual indifference is: 1. revealed in works (v. 15) 2. displayed in half-heartedness (“lukewarm,” v. 16a) a. neither “hot” with zeal (v 16b) b. nor cold with refreshment (v. 16c) 3. results in rejection (v 16d, literally “vomit”) Dr. Jim R.
