“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars — you have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead — Sardis appears respectable but is spiritually moribund; Christ presents himself with the seven spirits (fullness of the Spirit) and control of the seven stars, confronting the church with what it lacks. The reputation-reality gap condemns complacency.
