Introducing The Lesson:

Have you ever gone to a carnival and looked in the mirror in a fun house? These mirrors distort a
person's appearance. Some mirrors make a person look unusually tall. While another mirror makes that
same person look short and stocky. The mirrors provide many humorous moments.

The seven letters of Revelations 2 and 3 are also mirrors. But these mirrors do not distort our image like
a carnival mirror does. Instead, these letters give us an accurate portrayal of who we are before God.

Sometimes an accurate evaluation of our spiritual lives is painful. We may not want to acknowledge who
we truly are. But if we need to evaluate ourselves and make the necessary changes in our lives. At other
times, an accurate appraisal of out spiritual walk can encourage us to further service. In either case.
Churches and Christians need a regular self-examination in the mirror of God's word. If not, they may
have a distorted picture of their true status before God.
