What does Jesus' wish reveal?

Revelation 3:15 (ESV)

15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot!

These words are emotion-laden. Jesus responds with heat to the Laodiceans’ lukewarmness, and so illustrates how they ought to respond. Indifference is never acceptable as a response to the gospel.
