“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm -neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:14-16)

“There was a large group of people gathered. On one side of the group stood Jesus. On the other side stood Satan. Separating them was a fence running through the group. With the scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to people in the group. One by one, each having made up his or her own mind, went to either Jesus or to Satan. This kept going for some time. Soon enough, Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowd, as did Satan. One man did not join either group. He climbed the fence that was there and sat on it. Jesus and his group of people left and disappeared; and, so also did Satan and his group of people. The man on the fence sat alone. As this man sat there, Satan came back, appearing to be looking for something which he had lost. The man said, “Have you lost something?”  Satan looked straight at him and replied, “No, there you are; come with me.” The man said, “But, I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor him.” Satan said, “That’s okay; I own the fence.” – Source Unknown (Taken from: https://www.godsotherways.com/stories/2020/3/25/do-the-next-thing-4baw5-8faz4-8858t-9sdzk-7e82s-8b4j4-t2bmy-754a6 )

In the book of Revelation, John recorded 7 letters from Christ to the churches. Within each letter Jesus stated His concerns for that church. In today’s verses He spoke specifically about the danger of being “lukewarm.” Jesus does not want us to be half His, with the other half in the world. The warning here is clear. Jesus will come back and take His people with Him. Don’t get caught sitting on the fence.
