Chris.
Jesus tells us in the Book of Revelation that He knew the hard work of the Ephesian Church. It is exactly the same today. Jesus knows all that goes on in every Church that claims to be Christian. It is obvious that the hard work going on in the Ephesian Church was pleasing to Him. Jesus knows all things about His Church!
