3 John — Symbolisms

Theme: Walking in Truth Through Faithful Service

Walking	A person’s daily conduct. John rejoices that his spiritual children are walking in the truth.
Truth	More than correct belief—it is truth demonstrated through the way a believer lives.
Hospitality / Open Door	Welcoming and supporting faithful Christian workers makes believers fellow workers for the truth.
Journey	Traveling believers represent the spreading of the gospel. The church helps send them on their way.
Fellow Workers	Christian service is cooperative. Those who support the work participate in its mission.
Diotrephes / First Place	Symbolizes pride, control, and self-importance. Diotrephes “loves to be first” and refuses apostolic authority.
Demetrius / Good Testimony	Represents a faithful reputation. His life is affirmed by others and by the truth itself.
Imitation	“Do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” Our examples influence the path we follow.
Face to Face	As in 2 John, personal fellowship is preferred over communicating only with pen and ink.
