📖 Revelation 3:14–22
In this episode of The King is Coming, Keith Harris and Jamie Harrison close out Jesus’s seven letters to the churches with the most sobering of them all—His message to Laodicea. Unlike Philadelphia, there is no praise here. Only diagnosis… and invitation.
Jesus introduces Himself as “the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.” He is the final word. He is completely trustworthy. He is Creator, not created.
Then comes the warning: “You are neither cold nor hot… because you are lukewarm…” (Revelation 3:15–16)
In a city known for its lukewarm, undrinkable water, the imagery would have been unmistakable. The church believed they were rich and in need of nothing—but Jesus says they were poor, blind, and naked.
Together, Keith and Jamie discuss:
✔️ What “lukewarm” really meant in Laodicea’s context
✔️ The danger of spiritual self-sufficiency
✔️ Why Jesus confronts their wealth, clothing, and eye salve industries
✔️ How loving rebuke proves we belong to Him
✔️ What it means that Jesus stands at the door and knocks
This letter is hard—but it is not hopeless. “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. So be zealous and repent.” (Revelation 3:19) And the promise still stands: “To the one who conquers I will grant him to sit with me on my throne…” (Revelation 3:21)
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 3:22)
