At the end of John's third epistle, we see three simple and practical steps to living the Christian life: live peaceably, be hospitable, and follow good examples. Imagine what the Church could be if everyone managed to get these three little things right!

The day of Pentecost marked the beginning of the Church age. There are a few things that we can learn from this event and what it meant for the birth of the Church. What a blessed thing to know that the Holy Spirit has been active in the Church since that special day!

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!
