Thyatira: The Divergent Disciples
Revelation 2:18-29
Seeing every thought, deed, and desire,
And feet like brass through judgment passed
For us, yet Judge Whose verdict lasts* –
You always see and call out truth
Straight to the core; it’s Your love’s proof
Wed to Your wise and holy gaze.
Thyatira’s church and our own days
Both need Your words so desperately,
If conquerors with You we’d be.
And to some teachers we say “No.”
For tolerance can go too far,
And we must side with where You are;
The line of Your authority
Must by Your church respected be.
Holding fast to Your Word faithfully,
Help us be true ‘til You we see
In all Your glory, dear Morning Star,
Wholly His Who for us bears nail scars.
*John 5:22
