(Lesson 1463)(10-03-15) Revelation 2:8-11
"And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
Today's quote is Jesus' letter to the Church at Smyrna. Therein, Jesus recognized the good efforts of the church while also recognizing that there were some among them who were false teachers out to destroy them. Jesus promised; "He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
