The Church in Smyrna: Faithfulness in Suffering (Revelation 2:8-11)
from Covenant of Grace Messages
The church in Smyrna suffered persecution and reproach in a culture hostile to the Gospel. Jesus' words to the Smyrneaens are vital for us today. For all its poverty, suffering and sorrow, and in part due to it, the church in Smyrna is one of just two churches to receive only commendation from Jesus and no rebuke. If we are to remain faithful to the end and receive commendation from Christ, we must learn from them.
