Scripture: 3 John 1-15

Key verse: (4)  “I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”

Reflection: Today’s epistle lesson offers you the opportunity to read an entire book of the Bible for your devotional!  When’s the last time you read a book of the Bible in one day?  Granted, it’s the shortest book in the New Testament, fewer words than any other book. So today, in honor of 3 John, I offer a brief devotional.  Love one another.  That’s it.  That’s what John writes in 1 John, 2 John, and in 3 John, that’s what it means to walk in truth.

Prayer: Thank you for your love, O God.  Help us live out your love in our lives.  Amen.
