Jesus is the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. He is faithful to all God is, totally true, and he holds glorious authority.
Laodicea was a wealthy city near modern Denizli, known for banking, cloth and an eye salve the letter turns into an image. The excavated streets, theatres and a restored church occupy a wide ridge. Hierapolis and the travertines of Pamukkale are a short drive away and are visited on the same day.
The letter’s charge is famous and easy to cheapen. We do not use it as a slogan for the journey. The city is enough: water that arrived lukewarm by aqueduct, and a church told to notice.
