The White-Robed Elite

 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.  Revelation 3:4

Smyrna, in its more modern version, I have visited, but Sardis was not among the places I have seen. From this I can say that I am not among those white-robed elite our Lord pointed out with John. Hmm, one must pause for a moment, is that what our Lord Jesus wanted us to do? To understand that there was an elite group among the church that He would promote to walk with Him? I see in this short section of the Revelation that our Lord forgot to include the list of the names so that the others might get back on track by emulation. Certainly this message was going to cause some looking around at one another in the church at Sardis! Is that what our Lord had in mind? 

Often we are left with questions when our Lord sends His word to us. One thing we know by faith, there is one person to get a white robe from, and one person who forgives our sin, and that same person saved us on the cross by His sacrifice. Worried that we don't have that white robe, we come to Him in repentance. 

Have a forgiven Monday in Christ the Lord!
