Sometimes the greatest spiritual danger in our lives is not crisis.

It is comfort.

In the final week of our series, Jesus Among the Churches, we look at Jesus’ message to the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3:14–22.

Laodicea was wealthy, successful, and self-sufficient. They believed they had everything they needed.

But Jesus saw something different.

“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” — Revelation 3:17 NIV

The danger was not that they had resources.

The danger was that they had stopped depending on Jesus.

Sometimes we do not stop believing in Jesus.

We just stop needing Jesus.

And that is the danger of comfort.

Jesus loved this church too much to leave them there.

“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.” — Revelation 3:19 NIV

Then comes one of the most familiar invitations in Revelation:

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.” — Revelation 3:20 NIV

Jesus is still knocking.

Still inviting.

Still calling us back.

Maybe the question is not simply, “Is Jesus in my life?”

Maybe the question is:

“Where is Jesus in my life?”

In my decisions?

In my priorities?

In my relationships?

In my schedule?

In my heart?

This message challenges us to ask:

Have I become too comfortable?

What am I using to replace Jesus?

Can I still hear Him knocking?

Comfort is not the problem.

Self-dependence is.

Let Jesus back into the center.
