Protecting His Body

The Apostle John was exiled to an island called Patmos. His crime was preaching the word of God. While on this island, though, John saw Christ in all His glory. John describes what he saw in Revelation 1.

Among other things, John said that out of Christ’s mouth came a sharp two-edged sword. The sword described here is a large broad sword used by warriors in battle. In Revelation 2 we see Christ using this sword to fight against sin in the church.

The church is Christ’s body and He will remove sin from His body as if it were a life threatening malignancy. Jesus removes sin from His body because He cares about it.

This is a warning for you and me. Either we deal with sin through repentance and faith, or Christ will deal with it. He wants His church healthy and strong. He will protect His church from sin.
