The church at the center of the world is always in hardship. We are in suffering for Christ's sake. It is a passage where the church in the midst of such suffering greets the scattered travelers.
When we believe in Jesus and become blessed people, it leads us to go the way Jesus went. It is a narrow road and a road of hardship. The saying that the church in Babylon which is in the midst of suffering greets you means that we all must walk the path of suffering in and through Christ with the same faith.
