4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Focused Passage
3 John 1:4
Walking in the Truth Through Faithful Hospitality
John moves from affectionate blessing, to commendation of truth-shaped hospitality, to warning against prideful obstruction, to commendation of a faithful example, and finally to personal fellowship.
