In our recent exploration of 3rd John, we examined this personal letter from John to Gaius, highlighting the significance of individual relationships in the early Christian community. John commends Gaius for his dedication to truth and kindness, emphasizing the value of hospitality and support. The letter also addresses a conflict with Diotrephes, who rejected John’s authority, serving as a reminder of the challenges in maintaining unity. In contrast, Demetrius is praised for his good reputation. John concludes with a desire to meet Gaius, underscoring the importance of personal connections.
