Synopsis: The church in Laodicea was in trouble and didn’t even realize it. They were so self-deluded and complacent that they thought they needed nothing. Jesus’ love calls on them to be zealous and repent, buying from Him true treasure, true righteousness and true knowledge.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
