3 John: Ministry By Proxy

Transcript Today’s Bible Translation Bible translation used in today’s episode: Ch. 1 GWT Podcast Introduction It’s Epistles Sunday. We’ll read 3 John, and we’ll have a time of prayer. I’m calling this episode “Ministry By Proxy.“ Design: Scott Snider | Photo: Ben White on Unsplash Summary 3 John is addressed to a man named Gaius. There seem to be several men with this name in the Bible, one of whom was baptized by Paul. We don’t really know anything more specific about this Gaius, except that John considered him a dear friend. John commends Gaius for the good reports he hears about him, and for the fact that he supports those who travel about, preaching the Gospel. It is a good thing to support missionaries and others who are on the front lines, sharing the Gospel. Even though we may not personally go out to preach the Good News, our support for them makes us an important, vital and integral part of the team.  Then John has a warning against a man named Diotrephes, and good words about one named Demetrius. John says, “Never imitate evil, but imitate good. The person who does good is from God. The person who does evil has never seen God.”  Listen to the episode for more!
