Rev 3:19 As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
He still loves His
church despite the fact that they have become ineffective, they have left Him
and have put Him in the corner. Yet because He still loves them He must rebuke
them and chasten them if they do not repent.
But notice He does
not just say repent, no He says be Zealous AND Repent.
Zealous, ‘showing great energy or enthusiasm in
pursuit of a cause or objective.’
Be Zealous therefore – show great energy and enthusiasm
for repenting, getting on fire for me and spreading my Gospel.
More than anything He hates the ineffective complacent
church.
How many in today’s America would identify as the Church
at Laodicea? Neither hot nor cold but lukewarm. Good for nothing.
Time for the church in America to repent of their pride in their riches, of their complacency and get
Zealous for Him and the things of Heaven.
