John pleads with the church in Sardis to wake up to the reality of Christ’s kingdom and repent of their hypocrisy. Those who sleep (i.e. those who are content with a carnal existence) will face judgement, but those who wake up through repentance will share in Christ’s pure goodness. He will acknowledge them before the Father and his angels.
