There was a man who walked into a card shop and asked the clerk to help him find a very special card for his one true love.
Some people struggle to maintain their fidelity to their one true love.
That is true whether it involves loving a person or loving one's Lord. As we shall see in our study this morning, the church at Ephesus was a church that had forgotten its first love, and Christ wrote a letter to it about the matter. As we consider this love letter from the risen Lord, there are three things I want you to consider with me. The first of the seven letters is addressed to the church at Ephesus. A straight sail of 60 miles from the island of Patmos would bring the bearer of the letter to the port of Ephesus at the mouth of the Cayster River.
