2 & 3 John


These are very short books and I will combine them. Both are messages containing greetings and also warnings. There are again, ideas about Jesus' resurrection, being in spirit only, that are creeping into the church. There are also individuals who are not acting in love but being bullies and tyrants and John warns about not associating with people such as these.

Impressions: These early church problems were new to the believers, but as we see throughout history, they continually rear their heads to challenge Christians at all times and in all places. We are to be ever vigilant and train ourselves to recognise deception when we see it. This is achieved through knowing the Word of God.  

Readability: 4 stars
