Remember then from what you have fallen, repent and do the work you did at first.

And that's,

That's so important because I think, okay, Lord, I think I'm believing the right things.

I'm trying to do the right things.

But I want to be in love with you.

That's the thing, right?

I just want to be in love with you.

That's what he's calling you to, too.

To fall back in love with Jesus.

It's easy to fall in love.

It is hard to stay in love.

But Jesus is calling us back to that.

Okay, last thing.

You know, Jesus also has words for the churches that he says, okay, if you do this, to him who conquers, in chapter two, to him who conquers, I will grant to eat the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

One of the reasons why I'm telling you that this whole book of Revelation is gonna be pointing back to the mass again and again.

I grant to eat of the tree of life.

Here it is, the Eucharist.

Not only that, but later on in verse 17, Jesus says, he who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To him who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna.

Again, the Eucharist.
