Sunday Service: Laodicea, a wealthy and self-sufficient city known for its banking, textiles, and medical advancements, had allowed its prosperity to blind it to its need for God. Jesus, identifying Himself as the Amen—the fulfillment of God's promises and the beginning of God's new family—reminded them that everything centers on Him, not their riches. Using the city's lukewarm water supply as an illustration, He exposed how their faith had become useless—neither refreshing like cold water nor healing like hot, but corrupted by pride and self-reliance. Unlike other churches, Laodicea received no praise, only rebuke, for their love of money had displaced their love for God, echoing the warnings given to Israel and the lesson of the rich young ruler. Jesus called them to trade worldly wealth for spiritual riches, to put on the white garment of salvation, and to see clearly through His truth rather than through the blindness of prosperity. Though they had shut Him out, His discipline proved His love, and He stood ready to reenter if they repented and invited Him back in. This warning extended beyond Laodicea, reminding all believers that salvation requires ongoing faithfulness, dependence on Christ alone, and a refusal to let wealth or self-sufficiency replace devotion to Him.
