“Lacking Nothing…”


BIBLE READING: Revelation 3- 7
                                                                                                                                                                          
                Have you ever met someone who has everything they need? They have an impressive house, a nice car, a good job, a big TV, the latest iPhone, a closet full of designer clothes, and a fridge stocked full with any and all ingredients. They go out to eat whenever they want. If they want to update a space in their house, they do it. And if there’s an important game in town, you’ll see them with season tickets in the front row.
The church at Laodicea was a group of Christians who trusted in their wealth to buy them everything. Their sin wasn’t that they had a lot of money, but it was when their bank account got to their head, and instead of praising God for it, they no longer felt a need for Him. In their eyes, they were set. Sure, they may have prayed and attended church, but it was only in moderation and there was no feeling or thought behind it.
But being a Christian has always meant having a relationship with Christ, and John made it clear in this passage from Revelation that those who simply go through the motions or place their confidence elsewhere are missing out on cultivating a true connection with Jesus.
However, for anyone who sees their need for salvation, for anyone who realizes their imperfections, for anyone who recognizes they crave more than this world has to offer, Jesus stands at the door knocking. Anyone who welcomes Him in and cultivates an intimate relationship with Him will then experience what it means to truly be rich beyond measure and lack nothing.          -Selected
