In this episode of The Living Logos, we examine Christ’s letter to the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7, exploring its rich biblical and historical context—from Paul’s ministry and Timothy’s leadership to John’s exile on Patmos. While Jesus commends the Ephesian believers for their doctrinal purity, endurance, and rejection of false teaching, He confronts them for abandoning their “first love”—not merely affection for Christ, but their outward, zealous witness to the world. The episode calls the modern church to recover both truth and testimony, reminding us that faithfulness requires not only guarding sound doctrine but shining as Christ’s lampstand in a dark world.
