170 m sistent and in accord with the teaching of the word of god it is so eary to mistake our prejudices so for our consciences and to make our own understanding of scrip tural principles the standard of judgment instead of that which is set forth clearly in the word of god itself there is always the danger of running into the chanmis of bigotry as we endeavor to avoid the scylla f ioosentss and indifference to the once delivered to the saints verse by verse john 1 the elder unto the wellbeloved gains john speaks of himself as the elder or presbyter and addresses his letter to gains who was the head apparently of a christian house or possibly even a place of public entertainment such as we today call a hotel some have thought he might be identical with the gaius of acts 1929 and 204 who was at one time a companion of paul in romans 102j paul writes of gaius mine host whether this be the same man as gains of derbe or not we do not know lie might be the one to whom john writes but there is no proof that such is the case see verse 1 verse 2 that thou hiayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul i prospereth gaius was possibly a semi invalid strong in spirit lie was weak in body john desired that his physical health might be in accord with his spiritual wholesomeness verse 3 thou walkest in the truth servants of christ who had been entertained by gaius had reported how he adorned the doc trine of christ by a consistent godly walk in this the apostle rejoiced verse 1 no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth this seems to- imply that gaius had been converted through john and therefore could not be identified with gaius the friend of paul it always gladdens the heart of a minister of christ when those he has led to the lord go on in faith living in the power of the truth verses 5 and g strangers have borne witness of thy charity before the church it is evident that gaius delighted in showing hospitality to gods servants and visiting brethren when in the course of their travels they came to his home in so doing he was carry ing out the will of god for in this way he was contributing to the spreading of the gospel verse 7 for his names sake they went forth taking nothing of the gentiles these missionaries of the cross who were the recipi ents of the bounty of gaius were deserving of such assistance for they went forth in dependence on the lord to meet their needs and did not solicit any help from the nations of the unsaved to whom they carried the word of life verse s fellow helpers to the truth it was and is still incum bent on those who were employed in home responsibilities to assist those who go forth in missionary service in this way the stay-at- homes became fellow helpers and will share in the reward at the judgment seat of christ verso 9 diotrephes who loveth to have the prominence among them this man evidently sought to dominate the local church with which gaius was connected he was determined that none should be acknowledged as worthy of chris tian fellowship who did not have ids approval verse 10 xeitlfor doth he him self receive the brethren and for- biddeth them that wouldand easteth them out of the church by insist ing on rigid standards of his own devising diotrephes managed so to control the church that godly brethren whom he could not dominate were refused fellowship and those who were of a more liberal spirit were overridden even a letter from the aged apostle him self failed to change the ungracious attitude of this tyrannous leader verse 11 follow not that which is evil but that which is good to comply with diotrephess rigid exclusive policy was evil in the sight of god and was to y refused knowing that such evil behavior was the evidence that one did not know the mind of god at all verse 12 demetrius hath good report of the truth itself demetrius was in all likelihood one of the itinerant workers who had been denied recognition by diotrephes yet his life testified to his godly character and his work should have recommended him john wrote endorsing him veree 13 and 11 i trust i shall shortly see thee there was so much on the aged apostles mind that he would have liked to put be fore gaius but he forbore hoping soon to visit him and take up these matters personally this is a very dental jtw stouffville floral roses wedding bouquets funeral designs cut flowers milt
