Diotrephes is a good example of a bad example. Too often we blame everything and everyone else for our sins, but at the end of the day it's a problem of pride and wanting to be first. Let's ask God again to humble us before Him!

Jesus says that He does nothing unless He sees the Father doing it. This is perfect submission and obedience. At the same time, He says the Father loves the Son and has given all authority to Him. We know the Father because we know the Son. Do you know God because you know Jesus?

Something that we often overlook is the ascension of Jesus into Heaven. It marked an end to His earthly ministry, but there is a lot more to it that we neglect to think more deeply about. Let's have a look at some things we can learn from this glorious event!

Jesus identified with the Father by identifying His work with that of the Father. What we see here is a perfect demonstration of humility and submission. May we too be faithful servants of God by doing His work!

The Bible teaches us to respect and obey our earthly authorities (where they do not contradict Scripture). This includes voting when we are called upon to vote.

John gives a wonderful compliment to Gaius: he is faithful in whatever work he does. Whether we are pastors and leaders in the ministry, or we are part of the technical or cooking crew, let us support one another and be faithful fellow workers with the Truth!
