Dear Reader,
Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ is rarely as easy as we’d like it to be.
Some days will be a success. Some days will be a failure. And most days will be somewhere in between.
The first Christians were no different. Those first followers, who lived almost 2,000 years ago, had their own share of successes and failures.
What can we learn from them?
In the final book of the Bible, Jesus Christ had a message for seven congregations in first-century Asia Minor—and for us. These Christians, who lived in a different time and a different culture, faced many of the same challenges we face today. And the words Christ shared with them are words He intended for us to hear as well.
This Journey is broken into 10 readings that we encourage you to navigate at your own speed. You might spend a week going through Reading 1, or you might tackle Reading 2 and 3 in a single marathon session. Make sure to find the pace that works for you!
In each section of this Journey, you’ll find three things:
As we learn more about the seven churches mentioned by name in the book of Revelation—what they did well and where they were failing—we can learn more about what our Savior expects of us.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 2:7).
All the best,
Jeremy Lallier, author
