Nancy continues her study in Revelation by exploring the letter to the church in Smyrna—one that experienced intense persecution and suffering. She reminds us that in times of trials, it’s not as important to know why as to know Who, and she challenges us to lift our eyes above our circumstances and look to Jesus for comfort and strength.
