Revelation 3-4

It took me about 7 minutes to read this passage.  There is a word in Revelation 3 verse 2 of the Complete Jewish Bible that caught eye:

"For I have found what you are doing incomplete in the sight of my God."  And I wondered what Jesus might have meant.  The Greek word that John recorded is derived from the word "pimplēmi" which means "to fill".  Literally Jesus was telling the Christians in Sardis that their actions are not full, or empty.  Had they fallen into meaningless ritual?  Had their words of praise become phrases spoken without thought or meaning?  Was the celebration of the Lord's Supper a formality?  Was there any effort in the attempts to share the Gospel of Jesus?  In the next verse Jesus tells them to do three things; Remember what they had heard.  Obey it. And turn from their sins.  We need to check ourselves as well to make sure that our actions are not incomplete.
