This show will be about #Revelation 3:1-6 according to #TheGreatMessage translation.

3:1 “To the messenger of the Christians gathered in Sardis, you must write: The one controlling the seven spirits of God and the seven bright lights [or, ‘stars’], says these things: ‘I have come to know your works. You have a name that is life, but you are dead.

3:2 You must come alive. You must fix what is left, which is about to be destroyed. Because I have not found your works have been finished as my God watches [or, “in the sight of my God”].

3:3 Therefore, you must think back about how you received and how you heard. You must be on constant alert, and you had better listen. You must change your beliefs. If you do not listen then you might want to stay awake, as I will come the way a thief enters and you will not likely know at what hour I will come upon you.

3:4 However, you do have a few names [or, “people”] in Sardis who have not stained their clothes. These ones will live with me dressed in white [or, “in clean clothes”], because they deserve it.

3:5 The one who prevails like this will be dressed in white [or, “in clean clothes”], and I will not remove that person’s name from The Book of Life. I will also openly proclaim that person’s name as my Father watches and as his angels watch.

3:6 The one possessing an ear must listen to what the spirit says to the gathered Christians.
