Letters to the Churches: To the Church that Must Prepare

In ancient times, when a king planned to visit his landholdings or cities, messengers were sent ahead to announce his arrival. Roads were cleared. Homes were swept. Streets were beautified. The people didn’t wait passively—they prepared actively. They made a straight and easy path for the king to arrive. This wasn’t just protocol—it was honor. It was readiness. It was a declaration: “We are not just aware of the King—we are awaiting Him.”
