Publisher's Synopsis
The Bible contains seven letters authored by Christ himself. Found in the beginning chapters of the Book of Revelation, the seven letters contain a message relevant and applicable to the body of Christ today even though written to seven churches existing in a specific time and place in history. These long over-looked letters spoken by the Word of God are timeless. Jesus' messages to these churches speak with a living and active authority to issues concerning the modern church, as well as, to the historic churches to whom they are addressed. The first image we experience of Jesus in the Book of Revelation is of him walking and moving among the churches, evaluating their activities and motives of the heart, nothing is hidden from him. Each of the letters we will study present a timely message of encouragement and hope born of Christ's love for the Church in an era faced with accusations of intolerance, demands for compromising faith, ostracism, and persecution based on a persistent faith in the everlasting God and divinity of Jesus Christ.
