In this final letter, we encounter a church that is alarmingly oblivious to their actual spiritual condition. They have believed that things are all good, yet the truth is that they have, in fact, excluded Christ from their lives. They are living independently of Christ, with the spirit of self-sufficiency that is characteristic of their city. Jesus firmly yet in grace calls them to repent and open the door to him so that he might be the centre of their lives.
