I [Jesus] know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.–Revelation 3

1. The speaker is the Risen and Exalted Lord Jesus.
2. This text comes from his message to the church at Sardis.
3. What about your reputation?
4. What about the way you live your faith is “dead” and should be “alive?”
5. What about your sinful, selfish, hypocrisy is “alive” and should be “dead?”
6. What needs strengthened about your faith? What is unfinished about your faithful deeds?
7. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What fruit is not hanging on your branches? Time to take this seriously, my friend.–JMB
