Did you know that fact about Sardis?
What was Jesus message to the church in Sardis in Revelation?. The church at Sardis was described as being dead (3:1). It appeared to be alive – had a reputation of being alive – looked spiritually vibrant on the outside – but was spiritually lifeless. The church was Christian in name only. This recalls Christs scathing rebuke of the Pharisees who look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead mens bones and everything unclean (Matthew 23:27(link is external)).
Christ therefore gave Sardis a jolting command to Wake up! (3:2). The rousing call was meant to encourage the church to take action. The members were to strengthen what little remained, to obey, to repent (3:2-3). Jesus told the church at Sardis to wake up or he would come like a thief does. You will not know at what time I will come to you, he said (2:3).
