In the seventh and final letter to the churches Jesus addresses the church in Laodicea, sadly with no words of commendation. The Laodicean church in their pride and total self-reliance had become lukewarm and He reacted strongly with these words, " I know your deeds, that you are neither cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-I am about to spit you out of my mouth" Revelation 3:15-16. Such a strong response from our Lord should cause us all to reflect where we are -- cold, hot or lukewarm? May we all take this letter as if it were written to us personally.
