Introduction to the Second Epistle of John About the same time the Apostle John wrote
1 John, he composed this letter.
During the first two centuries, the Gospel was taken from place to place
by traveling evangelists and teachers.
Believers customarily took these missionaries into their homes and gave
them provisions for their journey when they left.
Since false teachers also relied on this practice, 2 John was written to urge
discernment in supporting traveling teachers and to protect the Church from
false teachers who were seriously harming the faith of many.
As you listen, reflect on the importance of being a person of truth, of love,
and of obedience.
