One
of my favorite stories is about the Texas rancher who was doing
agricultural consulting
for a farmer in
Germany. He asked the German
farmer about the size of his property, to which he replied, “About a mile square.” When the
German asked the Texan about the size of his ranch, the rancher
explained that if he got in
his pick-up truck at dawn and drove until sunset he would still be on
his ranch. Not to be outdone,
the farmer replied, “I used to have an old
truck like that!”(Perspective-Spanish-Audio-)
All
joking aside, it’s
important to have the right perspective. Unfortunately, the
Christians in Laodicea had
the wrong perspective about wealth (Rev. 3:14-22). By all appearances, they were rich. They
had plenty of earthly goods and thought they needed nothing—not even Jesus.
But Jesus had a
different perspective. In spite of their material prosperity, He saw that they were “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and
naked” (v.17). So He invited them to become truly rich by
seeking what only He
could provide: purity, character,
righteousness, and wisdom.

Read: Revelation 3:14-22 |
Let’s not make the Laodicean mistake. Instead, let’s keep our perspective right about what it means to be rich. True wealth is not measured by what you have but by who you are in Christ. (Revelation
3 -Audio-)

[You] do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. —Revelation 3:17 |
In Christ we’re rich beyond belief
With wealth the world cannot see; We have new strength and character, New righteousness and purity. —Sper The
poorest person is he whose only wealth is money.
