Passage: Revelation 3:7-13, Summary: What does Jesus do with a church that isn't powerful, influential, or impressive by the world's standards?
In His letter to the church in Philadelphia, Jesus commends a congregation with "little power"—yet they remained faithful. They held fast to His Word, refused to deny His name, and faithfully walked through the opportunities He placed before them. In response, Jesus promised to open doors no one could shut, reward their perseverance, and give them an eternal home with Him.
The same Savior who held the key then still holds it today.
