The Epistles of John 1 2 & 3
The Epistles of John...In the late first century, three profound letters emerged from the early Christian community. These epistles of John spoke directly to the challenges facing the early church. The first and longest letter emphasized walking in the light of truth and love. The second, a brief note to the chosen lady, warned against false teachers. The third, addressed to Gaius, praised hospitality and condemned those who rejected traveling teachers. Together, these letters paint a vivid picture of early Christian communities grappling with questions of truth, love, and fellowship, themes that continue to resonate today. "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the word of life. The life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
