Digging Deeper: Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6)

1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ You can find the Louis Brighton Revelation Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Revelation-Concordia-Commentary-Louis-Brighton/dp/0570063124/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525680&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc You can find the Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Reformation-Heritage-Bible-Commentary-Revelation/dp/0758627610/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525894&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-3 Subscribe on Audible (https://www.audible.com/pd/Wrestling-with-Theology-Podcast/B08JJMW83M) or your favorite podcast app.
