Revelation 2:4 Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. "Nevertheless" or not withstanding all these good things in which Christ found and approved in this Church, yet all was not well, something was blame-worthy, for which Christ did gently reprove her, and call her to repent and to reform. "thou has left thy first love" She had not left the object of her love, the LORD Jesus, whom she loved, \ but she had cooled in her spiritual affections to Christ and to his saints, which she had manifested in the day of her first espousals; which Christ well remembered and here minds of, as God did his Israel of old \ They were not so kind to Christ and his saints formerly. Christ takes it unkindly, when his churches, ministers, or saints cool their spiritual affections towards himself, or any of his.
