That's about the worst thing someone could say to you: You make me sick. So when we hear Jesus saying something like that to a church, we can be sure that he's not kidding around. The church in Laodicea had settled into a smug self-sufficiency, and Jesus saves his harshest warning for them (Rev 3:16). When we consider ourselves quite capable of managing our own lives, Jesus gets pushed out the door. He's knocking - let him back in and share a meal with him. This Sunday we share such a meal as we celebrate the Lord's Supper together. Sunday, Jan 25 10 am.
