As we learned last week, our greatest joy comes from caring for others the way God has cared for us. This fellowship in God’s family requires that we don’t only think of ourselves but we’re also always thinking of others. Selfishness is one of the greatest obstacles to taking care of other people’s needs. By caring for others, we get to participate in their lives and the overarching story of what God is doing in and through His family.
As Christians, we have fellowship with Christ and each other because of what Christ has done for us. Because of this, our lives and what others see in us ought to reflect God’s love, affection, and hospitality for each other. Join us for this short 3-week series in the book of 3 John as we learn what it means to have true fellowship in God’s family.
