Repentance for Tolerance
Commentators stress that Jesus's call to 'repent' wasn't just for the members practicing heresy, but for the entire church that tolerated it. Scholars point out that the church's sin was its lukewarmness and failure to confront false teaching. This serves as a powerful reminder that corporate repentance is necessary when a community passively allows sin to persist in its midst.
