Peace be to you! – Ark Channel 08/12/2022 Thu 3 John

…you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers…send them on their way in a manner worthy of God… (v.5-6)

* For the Truth of Christ, for the building of the house of God, the Lord’s workers forge forward! We should support them, provide for them, aid in their journey, and partner with them. Those who receive the prophets will be rewarded by them!

…you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brothers and sisters, and especially when they are strangers (v5)

* Sometimes evil people may appear in the church like Diotrephes who stirred things up, hurt brothers and servants of God. John encouraged Gaius to go find godly men like Demetrius to solve difficulties together. Be humble and gentle and be bold to alert, rebuke and correct!

Unending Words, Peace To You! Ark Channel 081220 Tue 3 John 1

For I was overjoyed when brothers came and testified to your truth… (v3)

Good & Evil Co-Exist, Retribution Will Reveal
1. The arrogant Diotrephes is criticised for asserting himself, persecuting the good. God will punish!
2. Demetrius sets a good testimony for his hospitality in love, walking the talk and not being discouraged by the wicked.

A Good Model in Real Practice

1. The wicked ones in Church – Diotrephes took joy in being the leader.  This is evident in the way he talked and walked. (v9-10).

2. The kindness one cannot hide – Demetrius was known for his kindness. A true and Godly living in Christians is one that bears witness and cannot be hidden. (v12)

Daniel 10-12: The last days of Daniel ended in ‘peace’. This is his last test on God! Is God truly able to bring life out of death!
