Let Jesus In! - Week 9 - Study Guide

Let Jesus In!

Revelation 3:14-22

  1. How do Jesus' three titles in 3:14 span His entire career (3:14)? What is significant about these titles?





  2. Read the letter. Is there any commendation in this letter? Why or why not? Is there any mention of persecution, poverty, or trial? What does this suggest?





  3. Why does God prefer that we are either "cold or hot" (3:15)? (Remember that cold water was useful for refreshment from thirst, and the hot mineral water was health giving.)




  4. How distasteful is lukewarmness (referring to water that serves no useful purpose) to God (3:16)? Why is lukewarmness so distasteful to God? Could you describe a time in your life when you were lukewarm? Why do people sometimes live lukewarm lives?




  5. In 3:17 John says that the Laodiceans think that they are rich when they are, in fact, poor. What dangerous mindset develops as a result of personal success? What does this have to do with being lukewarm?





  6. How does God treat those He loves (3:19; cf. Prov. 3:11–12; 13:24; Heb. 12:5–6)? Can you give an everyday example of this?





  7. How does 3:20 relate to people who feel that they do not need to depend on God for wealth, health, or success? Is this verse a call to salvation, fellowship, or something else?






  8. Jesus' sternest rebukes and most glorious promises are directed toward Laodicea (3:21). What is so significant about reigning with Christ? (See 2 Tim. 2:12; cf. Phil. 2:6–11.)
