9. JESUS SEES US AS WE ARE: Revelation 2:7c—
We are “overcomers” (also in Rev. 2:11,17,26; 3:5,12,21). This term has already been defined by John in 1 John 5:5. He that began a good work in us (Phil. 1:6) will finish it. We are “kept” by the power of God (1 Peter 1:5)
Smyrna (Rev. 2:8-11)
10. ONLY JESUS CAN IDENTIFY WITH ALL OUR STRUGGLES:
Revelation 2:8—Jesus describes Himself as “dead & alive” as they were facing fatal persecutions. Jesus knows what we are facing and helps us through affliction.
11. OUR GREATEST SYMPATHIZER IS JESUS: Revelation 2:9—
Jesus knows our financial and emotional pains, plus when we are verbally abused.
12. FEAR NOT: Revelation 2:10a—
Jesus understands that Satan uses fear (2 Tim. 1:7), so He uses the most repeated negative prohibition in the Bible: “Fear Not”.
13. JESUS LIMITS SATAN’S HARM TO US: Revelation 2:10b—
The Devil (lit. “accuser”) can cause bad things to happen in our lives, just like in Job 1-2, such as being put in prison. God knows how much we can endure. He asks us to be willing to lose our earthly “temporal” life, in exchange for a heavenly “permanent” life.
