Christ shares his grief over his church: “You have forsaken your first love.”

Resting in the hard truth of God’s justice softens our hearts towards God and others.

Once we grasp that we’re the body of Christ, we start to see the church in a whole new light.

Jesus is first our Lord, then our Savior.

Jesus Christ meets us in our great weakness.

Jesus’ resurrection reveals what was, what is, and what will be true.

A loyal person keeps a covenant, no matter the cost.

A loyal person shows grace.

A loyal person speaks the truth.

The providence of God can stir loyalty

We are to tell the nations what the angels have seen of Jesus.

The reality of Christ’s resurrection means everything.
