third- epistle of john ia a personal letter written by a very diatonguujhed and prominent leader in the cnrfstian church to a friend in another city written about the ind of the first century and later than the epistles of paul it reflects something of the process of organ tzation which had gone on and was going on in the growing christian church the loose organization of pauls time was being left behind threatened by persecution and a hostile pagan world die christian fellowship was becoming increas ingly necessary local bishops or elders with jurisdiction over a group of churches were appearing john obviously was one of these apparently there were two par ties within the church and the two parties were found in each organi sation there were those who f a oured the close association with christians of other churches and there were those who opposed it in the congregation of which gaiua to whom this epistle is addressed was a member the antis were led b diotrephes and the pros by dams it would seem that the par tj led by diotrephes was in the ma jority and that diotrephes was the recognized leader of the congrega tion those who opposed his poll- cj he excommunicated he was quite provincially minded unable to further than the local congre gation and without any sense of a christian fellowship wider by far than the little group of which he was the leader while a prominent man in the church he had complet ed failed to shape his life by the christian virtues of humility and service he v as selfseeking and selfassertive and looked upon any authority higher than his own in the church as a threat to his posi tion it would appear that john hud sent out evangelists or missionaries in the name of the universal church because they represented the wider fellowship diotrephes re fused them the hospitaliu of the town of georgetown a cab at any hour s arrow taxi call us for your outoftown trip whereas the municipal conn ell has deemed it advisable to ub- mi the following

receive them further h would seem that he had refused to road to the congregation pastoral letters sent out by john his bish op the man gaius on the other hand was one who exemplified those virtues of love upon which wo have doalt in preceding lessons ide showed a keen sense of tha fel lowship of the universal church hvidently he and his friends had rccived and entertained the repre sentatives sent out by john heard their message and witness and had given them the help needed to reach the next city or town where christian group might receive them john is re intent to have to take sides in the natter obviously it ib distasteful to him that parties exist in the church and that each part j has its friends he sees l as due to evil and worldly mot ives and a desire for the chief- seats on the part of the faction led by diotrephenes vs 9 it would seem that johns authority as a bishop or elder is not m name only for he seems to think that when he visits this congregation he will be able to straighten matters out and will put diotrephes in his proper place possibly removing him from his position of leadership v 10 ihe example of diotrephea who set himself up in opposition to the leadership of the universal church in the person of one of the most saintli leaders of the early church ought to warn us today that the most common cause for division in the christian fellowship has been the presence of honchristian mot- i es and attitudes such as pride selfseeking the desire for prom inence ihe hostility of the pagan w orld of our time to christianity should further warn christians of the need in our own day for a clos ely knit christian fellowship with a common leadership of man who are great among us because they are our ministers christiana should also be warned of the importance of choosing the right leaders for any church ihe one effective answer to div ision into parties within the church may be found in the story pastor niemoeller has told of his experi ence in the concentration camp at dachau there on christmas eve eight prisoners asked him to hold a communion service a old hol lander a british colonel two nor- etgians an american a greek and non churchman who nevertheless claimed to be a christian were al lowed to meet in his cell they re- presented a number of denomina tions w ithin the universal church there in his cell with some con nivance of the guards niemoeller was able to administer the lords b upper though his whole church background would have reminded him that he should give communion only to members of the lutheran church from that day on though 1 remained a lutheran said pastor niemoeller my heart belonged to jesub chnst and his universal church which is greater than any denomination christian fellow ship begins at the lords table divisions begin when the lord s i able becomes the table not of the lord jesus christ but of a party within the church of course we wouldnt tell anyone that jean chester
