The Church of Philadelphia: Revelation 3:7-13
The church of Philadelphia was a weak church. It wasn’t like Sardis. It didn’t have a reputation for being alive; it had a reputation for being weak and small. This church was constantly being persecuted by the Jews. Jesus knows they had little power, and he was not disappointed in their weakness because in it they turned to him. This church chose to cling to Jesus because they knew they needed him more than peace with the Jews, more than a comfortable life, and more than a good reputation. They knew that they were weak and that his grace alone was enough. They knew that they were sinners and that his blood alone could rescue them from the wrath of God and give them peace with him. Jesus loves those who cling to him above all else. No one whose hope is in Jesus will ever be disappointed, so Jesus comes to show them why they have chosen wisely. He comes to show them, and us, why he is better than everything else.
