Today’s Mission 66 study brings us to Second John, where our
teacher, John Mathews, delves into the importance of adhering to
the essentials of the Christian faith and the need for discernment
when faced with false teachings. The early church faced challenges
from false prophets trying to introduce harmful ideas, which
required a firm and united stand from church leaders. John
emphasizes love and truth, warning against those who deny Jesus
Christ’s coming in the flesh—a dangerous heresy. It’s stressed
that we must stay true to the core teachings of Christ and not
be led astray by those who offer a different message, even in our
personal interactions and hospitality. Christians are encouraged to
be vigilant, to uphold the truth, and to demonstrate love through
obedience to God’s commandments.
