Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Collinsville, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 2 John.
“That’s not very loving.” Lots of people talk about love today, but Christian love isn’t about being “nice people”—as Lewis put it, it’s about being “new men.” In 2 John, the apostle applauds a Christian congregation for going against the grain as they live by Christian love.
He also sends a word of warning: do not host prophets who belong to the false church. In a culture of hospitality, it went against their instincts to turn anyone away, especially if they claimed the name of Christ. John however is clear: either we host Christ and live by His commands, or we host the antichrist and participate in their sin.
