“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
Revelation 2:4-5 KJV
Jesus spoke to the Church at Ephesus, “But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate love you had for Me at the beginning. Think about how far you have fallen! Repent and do the works of love you did at first. I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place of influence if you do not repent.” Jesus refers to the exclusive love that has first place in our hearts above all else. Repentance means to turn from the fallen mindset of error and returning to the mind of Christ which is the Word of God. Let’s learn to return to our passion for Christ that motivated us first and meditate in His Word with that intimacy of relationship He has invited us to. Amen!
