3John

The Third Epistle Of John, addressed by the Apostle John to his friend, Gaius, rebukes Diotrephes, who had usurped leadership in one of the churches. Slanderously rejecting John's authority, this man refused to "welcome the brothers" (traveling ministers to the local church) and excommunicated those that did receive them. He stands as one of the first examples of domineering ambition in the church. In contrast with Diotrephes, two other men are briefly characterized-Gaius, notable for sound Christian living, as evidenced especially in the practice of hospitality to the itinerant ministers; and Demetrius, a believer of lofty reputation based on living the truth. The Epistle as a whole presents a vivid glimpse of church life at the close of the first century.
