In Jesus’ message to the persecuted church in Smyrna, believers are encouraged to remain faithful under pressure, knowing they are spiritually rich and promised true life, even if faithfulness leads to suffering or death. The call for today’s church is to resist compromising with the gods of our age—political power, lust, and greed—and to live courageously loyal to Jesus, our beginning and our end.
