This time we are in Revelation 2:8-11, the message to the church at Smyrna.  This is one where Jesus did not have anything bad to say about the church, but he did have what we might call bad news.  They were in for some heavy persecution.  His message to them, “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”  There are just a few verses here, but there is much to learn from them.
