and wondered what you were thinking?  You may even remember that you

thought you really looked good. But now, with fresh eyes and a good deal

of distance from that moment, you have a very different opinion of your

appearance. For this last church in Revelation, Jesus tells the church

at Laodicea that what they think of themselves is untrue. They think

they are looking good, but Jesus actually tells them they are disgusting

and to be pitied. As harsh as this message is to this church, it may

have more application to the church today than any other message we’ve

discussed so far.
