Hold onto the One Who Holds You
Jesus Conquers, So Be Faithful – Revelation 2:12-17
12And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The words of Him who has the sharp two-edged sword. 13I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith (faith in Me) even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. .
14But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality (Numbers 22). 15So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. . .
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.
Jesus says: Church pay attention and respond to the sword of my mouth now so you won’t be cut by it later:
1. Christ reveals a self-Characteristic and a Compliment. . vs 12-13
2. Christ rebukes with Criticisms and Consequences. . vs 14-16
3. Christ rewards with Commitments to the responders. vs 17
