Third John

 

Third John

John wrote this letter to his friend Gaius to encourage him in a difficult situation in his local church.

People could see the truth in Gaius because he loved it and walked in obedience to it.

When you assist and encourage God’s servants, you become a fellow worker with them in spreading the truth.

When we welcome God’s people, we welcome God’s truth. John warned Gaius about one of the church leaders, Diotrephes, who was a troublemaker, an arrogant, self-centered glory seeker, who apparently refused to host worthy missionaries. He was making it harder for those in fellowship to obey the truth.

From John, we learn that those who infiltrate the church with Satan’s agenda must be confronted.

Gaius is an example of “the good” that should be imitated, one who humbly serves God’s people in love and truth.

Hebrews 6:10 says, “God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name.” For every sacrificial act of ministry, God sees, God smiles, God remembers, and God rewards.
