Sermons About Jew
The Church in Smyrna: Revelation 2:8
The church in Smyrna was made up of poor people who had endured many hardships. Jesus, the First and the Last, who defeated death, knows their tribulation, poverty, and the slander from the Jews that they have endured. Jesus tells them that he hears them, and yet they continue suffering. Not only does he call the church to not be afraid, he calls them to be faithful by treasuring him above all else, even to the point of death. He promises that the sufferings we experience right now, no matter how heavy they are, will one day seem light and momentary compared to the glory that he holds in store for his people. He suffered to end our suffering. He suffered so that no matter how much we have suffered at death, it is over. We will have an eternity with him.

The Road to Emmaus
God's story is vast and spans throughout all of history. But using the interaction Jesus has on the Road to Emmaus, we see how Jesus interprets this whole story...all in light of himself. This sheds a new light on the life, death, and especially the resurrection of Christ, and what it means for our story.
