The road to victory
The letter of Revelation comes to a church in the 1st century that longs for victory. Ephesus is a city full of people who serve false gods and twist the truth. The faithful church there longs for victory - and the Letter of Revelation promises that Jesus wins. Victory can be theirs! But how do they get there? The Ephesian church seems to be a church headed for victory: they have good deeds, perseverance, hard work, and they have guarded the truth. But they have made a huge mistake. Having left behind their first love, they have lost their way. They aren't on track for victory at all. But it's not too late. If they grab back on to gospel love, they can get back on track for victory. The way to victory is to hold on to an undying love for Jesus.
