Text: Revelation 2:8-11 The Message to Smyrna-this letter puts to rest the heresy that “God does not allow those who are His to suffer.” I. Encouragement - (vs. 8) the opening description of Jesus is so appropriate to their situation. A. The first and the last- B. The One who was dead, and has come to life- II. Knowledge - (vs. 9) the author of Hebrews says, “all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews4:13) A. Tribulation- B. Poverty- C. Enemies- III. Demand (vs. 10) God’s desire for our lives is that we glorify Him. (Eph. 3:20) One of the main ways Christians glorify Him is through obedience. A. Fear- B. Faith- IV. Promise - (vs. 11) the Lord Jesus was so good and gracious to give them the big picture!
