I. Jesus’ Praise of Them-(2:2-3, 6)
       They were hard workers, discerning Christians, not tolerant of evil men, and steadfast for the name of the Lord.

II. Jesus’ Problem with Them-(2:4)
        “They left their first love.”  The word left points to a completed action.  In other words, they had left Him and were still in that condition.  What are some contributing factors to this slippery slope?

III. Jesus’ Prescription for Them-(2:5a)
        A. Remember-this meant reflecting on the past.
        B. Repent-turn toward Me and turn away from your current condition.
        C. Repeat-the key word here is first.  In other words get back to your love relationship with Me.

IV. Jesus’ Pronouncement-(2:5b) Judgment. You will lose your witness (presence) as a light if there is no repentance.

V. Jesus Promise-(2:7)- “to the one who is victorious, he will eat from the tree of life.”
