Revelation 2:29: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Jesus and His Word
The conclusion of this message, is with a call to universal attention, that all men, all the world, should hear what passes between Christ and his churches-how he commends them, how he comforts them, how he reproves their failures, how he rewards their fidelity. It concerns all the inhabitants of the world to observe God’s dealings with his own people; all the world may learn instruction and wisdom thereby. 1
