3 John
The Apostle John was a man of deep passions.
In this intimate letter, he has a simple request
for his friend Gaius: Take care for Demetrius,
an itinerant evangelist. But the life lessons of
this little letter can guide our lives today!
A Snapshot of Three Men
· Gaius: Giver of hospitality
· Diotrephes: Loves to be first
· Demetrius: Authentic and Transparent!
The Message of Third John:: ‘Walking in the truth’ means living it out by loving other believers, supporting those who proclaim truth, and standing firm against those who depart from it.
Big Truths from a Little Letter
· Discipler’s Delight: Seeing his ‘children’ walking in the truth!
· Fellow Workers: Supporting those who proclaim Christ is good.
· Selfish Saints: Beware of those who divide the Body of Christ.
· Faithful Witness: Be a ‘Demetrius’!
“I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.”
3 John 4
