The Story of the Pineappe
The lesson on hospitality is taught by example.
A good one and a bad one.
The elder- connects clearly to 2 John
Gaius- The Positive Example
There are 3 or 4 other people named Gaius in the New Testament.
Perhaps had a malady verse 2
Was a faithful follower of Christ marked by walking in the truth.
3
This one was brought to faith in Christ through John verse 4
showed hospitality 5-8
to strangers 5
so much so that it was being reported 6
Included blessing them as they went 6-8
Financial support (verse 7-8)
Extended their own work (verse 8)
Diotrephes- The Negative Example
Disdain for Authority 9
John had apostolic authority
Many denominations are organized with some kind of hierarchy
Congregational churches see their leadership as within the congregation.
Speaking against authority 10
This was not speaking out against some authority that was wrongly using a position,
This was “wicked nonsense” or slander with malicious words, or gossip, disparaging words.
Note: John plans to bring it up.
(The best cure for slander told in the shadows may be to bring it out in the light.)
Refuses to welcome (show hosptiality to) real brothers.
10
Stops anyone wanting to show hospitality and excommunicates them.
Exballo… throw out.
Imitate the Good.
A Simple Charge
A simple charge.
Pattern your lives after good people.
11-12
This word imitate is used only 4 times.
Twice Paul uses it in 2 Thess 3 to talk about imitating the example he has set.
The 4th times in is Hebrews 13.7
Demetrius and John himself are listed as folks with good testimonies that they could pattern their lives after.
This word is one of 2 commands in the whole book.
The second is in verse 15 and it is the command to greet each “friend” by name.
friend is rooted in the word “brother”
There is a connection in these commands.
In one we are told to pattern our lives after “good” people.
In the other we are told to greet “friends” brothers or sisters by name.
This whole book is about throwing open the door to genuine brothers and sisters.
After all , they are our forever family.
