IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Power of Praise #4

We've been redeemed to be a trophy of His Grace — to bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ. The Praise of Proclamation is illustrated by Jesus Christ (Heb 2:10-13). We are a highly prised gift to Jesus Christ from God the Father. Jesus' anguish (Psa 22:1-21), is turned to praise (Psa 22:22-31, Joh 10:10-11). God doesn't ignore us in our affliction (Psa 22:24) in the sense of fulfilling purpose (Luk 18:1-8). What was the joy (Heb 12:2)? Us. Example is Daniel and friends in the midst to the fire proclaim Sovereign power (Dan 3:17-18); their willingness to stand firm and praise resulted in reward — fellowship with Christ and impact. They left the deliverance option to the Lord. Reward was when Nebuchadnezzar responded (Dan 3:28-30). Proclamation of deliverance an victory ahead of time by David: "the battle is the Lord's" (1Sa 17:45-47). David often praised God ahead of time (1Sa 26:23, Psa 43:5). Proclamation of trust (Job 1:20-21, Job 2:9-10, Job 13:15). Job regains praise after repenting (Job 38:1-2, Job 42:1-6).
