Study notes
Key Meanings and Themes Third John is a personal letter from the apostle John to a trusted believer named Gaius. 1 John writes to commend Gaius for supporting traveling teachers and to rebuke Diotrephes for refusing to welcome them. The letter presents two good examples (Gaius and Demetrius) and one bad example (Diotrephes). 3 Gaius gave John's messengers rest and refreshment and sent them on their way with money. Diotrephes, by contrast, loved prominence and exercising authority in the church. 5 In that culture, rejecting a person's representatives was disrespecting the person who had written on their behalf. 6 So his rejection of the missionaries was his way of refusing to acknowledge John's authority. The key application is John's call to imitate good, not evil. He was speaking of a lifestyle given over to continually doing good, which comes only as the result of God's grace in a person's life. 8 We too ought to show hospitality to visitors and strangers in our churches, since we are all members of the same family. -Bible.com
