God With Us: Later Letters, Week 13
Walking in the Truth
Much like a modern postcard, Second and Third John are very short letters that would have fit on a single sheet of papyrus. John's brevity was due to his audience - people that he was hoping to visit "face to face" in the near future. Second John is addressed to “the chosen lady,” likely a reference to the church in a certain city. Third John is addressed to Gaius, who was a leader in a local church (equivalent to a modern day “pastor”). Both letters continue a theme from First John, namely the need for believers to “walk in truth” amidst heresies that were threatening the churches.
This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.
