“An Early Christian Case-study”

If you are a Christian it’s because someone who believed the truth about the Lord Jesus was obedient to him and because they loved you told you and you believed. But before that, someone had told them and so on, all the way back to the apostles. We are the most recent links in an unbroken chain. But even as far back as the apostle John’s day there were threats to the chain. 3 John is an up-close, in-depth look at a particular early church and some of the people who belonged to it. In it we meet men whose lives are to be imitated and another whose example is to be rejected. 3 John is a case study of truth, obedience and love (and their opposites) in action.
