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.

Upper Room Discourse #3

Upper Room Discourse #3

1st John reflects on what John learned in the Upper Room: . Joh 13:31-35 "...God is glorified in Him...a new commandment ... love... by this all will know". In the upper room Jesus knew what was in the heart of his disciples, but still "...loved them to the uttermost (Joh 13:1)". Jesus suffered personal hostility (Joh 13:18-30); if you are growing in grace you'll experience the same. Internal opposition (Joh 13:36-38 through Joh 14:1-11). Hostility from the world (Joh 15:18-25). Hostility from the Devil himself (Joh 14:30).
