What would you actually bet your life on? In Revelation 2:8-11, Jesus writes to the church in Smyrna, believers who have lost businesses, customers, and neighbors for refusing to worship Caesar, and he tells them harder days are coming. Testing reveals what we have really staked our lives on. This message names three things worth staking them on: the words of Jesus, the first and the last, who should be the primary voice in our lives; the ways of Jesus, faithfulness at all costs; and the work of Jesus, the one who died and came to life again. The call is to make Jesus the loudest voice now and to prepare for the cost of faithfulness before it comes.
