“You have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead” (1). John throws cold water in the face of the church of Sardis. He admonishes the complacent people to “wake up, remember, and repent” (v2-3), warning them that a day of reckoning will come when Jesus shows up unexpectedly, “like a thief” (3).  John’s warning is that spiritual entropy and apathy are real; we must stay on our guard and awake. 

“The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white” (4-5). God is not predisposed to write us off easily (5); He wants us to hear His warning (13).. He calls us to be attentive to the reality of our soul’s condition, not our reputations, so that we keep walking with Him.
