God’s ultimate goal for us is to prepare us for what he has in store for us in heaven. Sometimes it means we need to be encouraged and sometimes we may need to be corrected. So, as we look at the church of Ephesians we see Jesus commending, condemning, and correcting His church. He encourages them for the things they did good and condemned them for what they did wrong but he also gave them consolation and motivation to overcome their sin.
