A City Transformed

Ephesus was a city who’s industry was false hopes. Idols, magic, rituals, money, fame, political power, spiritualism, if people thought it could bring them hope or some sense of control over their lives they were into it, and someone in Ephesus sold it. Then the true hope of Jesus appeared. When the gospel was preached, the miracles of healing and redemption took place, and then people began rejecting their old idols and burning-up the things they realized had never helped them. The word preached brought healing and freedom and resulted in transformed lives. This is how God rescues a city. This is how God rescues every heart that responds to Him.
