Letters to the Church Week 2 - Smyrna
Update: 2025-09-22
Description
The church in Smyrna faced intense persecution for refusing to worship Roman emperors, yet remained faithful to Christ. Jesus acknowledged their suffering and poverty while calling them spiritually rich. He warned them of coming trials but encouraged them not to fear. The letter teaches three key principles: Jesus intimately knows our suffering, greater spiritual growth often brings greater opposition, and faithfulness through suffering leads to eternal reward. Remarkably, despite persecution, the church in Smyrna has survived for 2,000 years, demonstrating that God's people can thrive even in opposition.
