What If?

How I wish we hated our own sin, as much as we hate everyone else’s.

Posted on

What if the Church of Ephesus, the church that had abandoned its first love for Christ, didn’t work on their heart issue? Instead, they were too busy pointing out the faults of Laodicea.

And….

What if Laodicea, the church with lukewarm faith,  didn’t work on their faith issue? They were too busy talking about the sins of Pergamum.

And….

Pergamum, the church that needed to repent of much sin, never truly repented because they were busy gossiping about the false prophets at Thyatira.

And….

The Church of Thyatira kept that false prophetess in their church because the bigger concern was what a mess Sardis is. I mean – at least Thyatira was on fire for God.

And….

Oh, Sleepy Sardis. They remained quiet and didn’t make waves, but behind closed doors, the bishop and elders agreed they aren’t really as bad as Thyatira, Pergamum, Laodicea, and Ephesus. They spent their precious hours gossiping about them and not focusing on the shortcomings of their own faith.

The moral of this post is this…

Jesus told these churches to clean themselves up – not each other.

Walk out YOUR salvation with fear and trembling, because you won’t be asked about mine.

How I wish we hated our own sin, as much as we hate everyone else’s.

My focus is on how I can be a better reflection of Christ Jesus – not on how anyone else should be.

I have plenty of sin of my own to contend with.
