The Book of 2 John with VPP




1:1, John, when he was old, he was still serving the Lord as an elder in Ephesus. He wrote to the chosen ladies in the church, they are called the sisters in Christ.

1:3, John did not wrote long letter about doctrines, or discuss much about theology here, he wrote 3 important words, “grace, mercy and peace.”

1:5, simply he said, there is a new commandment.

1:6, obeying God is the way to love God. Sign and mark of a Christian, in obeying God’s commandment, do not forget, God commanded us to love one another.

1:7, there are heretics who denying that Jesus Christ come in flesh.

1:8, do not teach beyond Christ’s teaching.

1:10, do not spend money or food on the heretics. Have nothing to do with their sins in preaching heresies.

1:12, paper and ink were expensive in the first century, sometimes parchments were also being used. John did not misuse their function to convey only the truth, nothing but the truth. Those earlier manuscripts are priceless compare to 15th century TR! The earlier the better!

Those ancient ink cannot replace the blood of Christ! Only the blood of The Lamb of God can erase the sin of the whole world. The ink was used to convey to us about His story and the truth! the Bible is inspired Word of God, put down to us in paper and ink. May God forgive me in writing, the more I wrote, there is more mistake!
