The journey so far through the book of 1 John has given encouragement for the journey ahead that will now take us into the other letters of John for a while. We will continue to gain insight from God’s Word with the intent to apply our faith at work, at home, and in all we do.

The reading plan below will be used to hold me accountable as I share about God’s Word. To share about 1 John, it’s important to have a plan. I’m thankful that Jesus is God’s plan for us and by accepting Christ as Savior, we have taken the steps necessary to make each day amazing!

Questions for Reflection

2 John – How are truth and love related in your daily living? What characterizes the deceivers warned against in today’s passage? How can you reconcile the attitude toward deceiving with John’s reminder of love?

3 John – What characteristics make Gaius so well beloved? How might you describe Diotrephes and those who are like him in your neighborhood or at work? What seems to be at the heart of his dissension? What are specific ways you can be hospitable in your situation while following truth and love?
