SEVEN The Churches Of Revelation. In Revelation, Jesus pulls back the curtain on unseen realities. We see Jesus’ resurrected glory and we hear him speak with authority. His messages are stunningly specific and frank. He sees the good and the bad and he makes his judgments plain. Along with the seven churches who originally received this letter, Jesus encourages us and our church to remain faithful. However, Jesus also rebukes disobedience and calls all to repentance. His message warns but also gives assurance of the great rewards available to those who endure in faith and godliness as “overcomers.” [Source: The Book of Revelation 1-4]
