The letter to the Church of Ephesus is recorded in Revelation 2:2-7. Jesus had some good and bad things to say about this church.

Good points

• their works were good
• they worked hard
• They had Patience. He said “you haven’t fainted”
• They dislike those who are evil
• They hated the deeds of the Nicolaitans

Bad Points

• They had left their first love.

Correction that needed to be made:

• Jesus commanded them to do their 1st works again.

Remember How Martha was busy and careful with many things, and Mary wanted to just stop and be with Jesus. It wasn’t that Martha was doing anything wrong, she was just too busy doing everything that needed to be done to stop and spend time with Jesus.

This is an easy trap to fall into. So, make a point to remember to stop and spend quality time with Jesus. Remember that the closer you are Spiritually to Jesus the easier it is to love one another.
Pray for others and yourself as Paul prayed for the church at Philippi. Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
