Scripture of The Day
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:15-16)
If you have ever taken a driver’s license test you may have seen a multiple choice question on that exam which went something like this. What is the time of day when it is hard to see and distinguish shapes and objects on the road? (1) Early morning (2) Late night (3) Twilight (the period between sunset and nighttime). The the correct answer is (3) Twilight.
Twilight is neither light nor dark. It’s kind of like having one foot in the light (God’s kingdom) and one foot in the darkness (the world). When this happens, we are partially blinded. We cannot see things as they are, which negatively affects our decision-making and puts us in a place where we could be easily deceived. I call it compromise.
Jesus talked about this type of compromised condition in Chapter 3 of the Book of Revelation when He addressed the Laodicean Church:
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:15-16)
Jesus did not want the Laodicean Church (or us) to stay in that type position so he gave them the following remedy which is available to all of us. He wants all of us “Hot” for our own good.
The question is this. Which are you, hot, cold, or luke warm? Only you and God can answer that question!
