So, today we pick up with the letter John writes to the church of Smyrna. This letter is different from the others. The others tend to have praise, rebuke, encouragement, warning, and promise of a reward. Not only is this the shortest letter of the 7, but it is focused solely on encouragement with the promise of not being touched by the second death. This letter is written in a way that would indicate that they are facing intense persecution. Jesus wants them to know that He sees their afflictions and to stay strong and there will be great reward. Unlike 5 of the other churches, this one doesn’t receive any rebuke by Jesus.
