The Second letter that Jesus tells John on the Island of Patmos to write is to the church in Smyrna. The people in this little church were devastated by persecution but they stood up for their faith regardless of the cost which many times meant their lives. In this letter Jesus has nothing to rebuke them for – only commendation for their understanding that life is short and eternity is forever. The people in this little church in Smyra lived out their faith unto death.
