If Jesus Christ wrote a letter to our church, what would his assessment of our church be? What does Christ consider to a healthy, God-honoring church? Looking at the letters to the 7 churches of Asia, Jesus’ assessment of the churches was most likely very surprising. The 3 churches that were the most prominent were condemned the harshest. The 2 more unimpressive churches, small and poor, were who the Lord commended the most. We consider the church at Philadelphia, who had a little strength but had a great door opened unto them by Christ.
