I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
What hope!
When one considers the scathing words of our Saviour against the church that was in Laodicea, one could come nearly to the conclusion that all hope was gone.
- Jesus said He would spue them out of his mouth
- Jesus said they were, wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked
But then:
He offered them counsel
That is hopeful
He told them to buy
That means that even in their spiritual wretchedness they had something
Jesus said to buy gold tried in fire
They could still obtain something of spiritual worth
He said He loved them
And was therefore willing to rebuke and chasten them
He said they could repent
It was not too late to turn around
He said He stood at the door and knocked
He had not forgotten or forsaken them
It’s not too late. If you read this and wonder if it is too late for you it is not.
Be zealous therefore, and repent
