Episode Transcript

(00:00):
2 John.
This is a very short letterwritten by the Apostle John to
the elect lady and her children.
John rejoiced because they werewalking in the truth, but he
warns them of deceivers whowould come to try to deceive
them.
He instructs them on how tohandle the deceivers.
And on this note, let us begin,second John verses one.

(00:23):
The Elder unto the elect ladyand her children whom I love in
the truth and not I only butalso all they that have known
the truth.
For the truth's sake, whichdwelleth in us, and shall be
with us forever.
Grace be with you, mercy andpeace from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ, theSon of the Father, in truth and

(00:44):
love.
Now, the second epistle of Johnis a personal letter from
himself to the elect lady andher children.
He sends encouraging words tothis special sister and to her
children.
He lets them know that they wereloved.
in the truth by him and by allbelievers.
Then he says for the truth'ssake which dwelleth in us and

(01:06):
shall be with us forever.
I like that.
In other words, we defend Thetruth, the truth lives in us and
the truth shall be with usforever.
Heaven and earth shall passaway, but the word of God shall
stand forever.
Then he sends his greetings.
All right, let's look at verses4 through 6.

(01:26):
I rejoice greatly that I foundof thy children walking in truth
as we have received acommandment from the Father.
And now I beseech thee, lady,not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but thatWe have from the beginning that
we love one another and thislove that we walk after his
commandments and this is thecommandment that as you have

(01:49):
heard from the beginning, youshould walk in it.
Now, here in John's secondletter lies the same message he
gave in the first one.
We must love each other like Godloves us.
Alright, let's look at verses 7through 11.
For many deceivers are enteredinto the world who confess not
that Jesus Christ is come in theflesh.

(02:09):
This is a deceiver.
And an antichrist look toyourselves that we lose not
those things which we havewrought, but that we receive a
full reward.
Whosoever transgressed andabided not in the doctrine of
Christ had not God.
He that abided in the doctrineof Christ, he, that he had both

(02:30):
the father and the son, he thatabided in the doctrine of
Christ, he had both the fatherand the son.
If there come any unto you andbring not this doctrine, receive
him not into your house, neitherbid him Godspeed.
For he that bid him Godspeed ispartaker of his evil deeds.
Now, we ought to have no partwith falsehood.

(02:51):
The Apostle John instructs theelect lady and her children not
to entertain false teachers inher home or support them
financially.
To do so is to partner.
In their evil deeds.
This is the reason why we shouldalways investigate everything we
give to.
Because if we give to the wrongthing, God considers us a

(03:13):
partner in it.
Alright, and verses 12 and 13.
Having many things to write untoyou, I would not write with
paper and ink, but I trust tocome unto you and speak face to
face, that our joy may be full.
The children of thy elect sistergreet thee.
Amen.
John says that there are otherthings he desires to tell them,

(03:35):
but he will tell, them thosethings in private, face to face.
Why?
So that their joy could be madefull
