The three epistles of John, traditionally attributed to the Apostle John, provide a rich foundation for devotional study within early Christian communities. Written around 64-66 CE, these letters address significant theological and ethical issues faced by believers in Ephesus, particularly concerning the nature of Christ and communal relationships among followers. Each epistle serves a distinct purpose: while 1 John emphasizes living in God’s light through love and truth, 2 John warns against false teachings targeting a specific congregation, and 3 John commends Gaius for his hospitality amidst opposition from Diotrephes.
This devotional exploration encourages readers to reflect on the timeless themes embedded within these texts. The emphasis on koinonia—fellowship with God and one another—serves as an enduring call for contemporary Christians to foster authentic community through love and support
