One thing that always strikes me in this epistle is that John mentions two men, Diotrophes and Demetrius. There names are recorded and have passed down through 2,000 years to today. Diotrophes has a permanent record of doing wrong. Demetrius has a record of good. This inevitably leads me to consider how I will be remembered. I want to leave a lasting legacy of good.
How do we do this? John gives the answer in verse 11, "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil has not seen God."---Next up, Haggai
