Be Different than Indifferent!
Rev. 3:14-16
Bible Talk Outline
A. Jesus faithfully proclaims ultimate spiritual truth
1. He is a faithful witness/proclaimer (v. 14a, Rev. 22:6), unlike those unfaithfully indifferent
2. He is a Truth-telling witness/proclaimer (v. 14b), unlike the half-changed indifferent
3. He is the new-creation witness/proclaimer (v. 14c, Rev. 1:5), unlike the half-changed
indifferent
B. Jesus finally rejects spiritual indifference (vv. 15-16)
Spiritual indifference is:
1. revealed in works (v. 15)
2. displayed in half-heartedness (“lukewarm,” v. 16a)
a. neither “hot” with zeal (v 16b)
b. nor cold with refreshment (v. 16c)
3. results in rejection (v 16d, literally “vomit”)
