This book is very brief, but it still carries an important message. This is another reminder from John that we must always walk in faith and reach out to those that are even strangers. I hope that is what I am accomplishing by writing here in this blog. I only know of a handful of people that read it, but it is my hope that anyone who does come across it will see God’s fingerprints on it.
5Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. 6They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. 7It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. 3 John 1:5-7
This is the most important thing that I can take from this. We must always be moving forward and act kindly toward everyone we meet. As Christians, we are living examples of Christ’s love. We are the representation of his earthly ministry, and therefore we are always on the front lines advancing His kingdom. By living Godly lives and helping those around us we only further His ministry, which is our reason for being.
