In Revelation chapters 2-3, Jesus Christ had messages for seven churches of what was in His time was called Asia, but today is modern Turkey. The churches in these cities had particular issues that the Savior, now glorified and ascended, that He either commended or denounced them for. The particular church focused up on in this episode of 2Days Denarius is the message to the city of Sardis noted in Revelation 3:1-6. Jesus, back in chapter one, is noted to have piercing eyes that burned with fire. This means He was and still is able to pierce through the church and our own hearts to show those things that need to be built upon, cast away, asked for forgiveness, and many other things that only He can see and give the cure if we respond humbly and in faith. Unfortunately for Sardis, the congregation did not respond as the Lord would have them do, so they suffered judgment as a result. This is a lesson we in our time must learn as well. The message to Sardis seems to have much semblance to the church in our time. Let us take our Lord's brutal honesty and respond according to His will so we may follow Him faithfully in trying times.
