Well, well, well, you know who it is – The Rock! And today I’m going to take you through the Bible book of 3 John, because let’s be honest, The Rock has a lot of knowledge when it comes to getting things done.
So, in this book, we see the apostle John writing a letter to a guy named Gaius. Now, Gaius was a faithful follower of Jesus, and John was praising him for his commitment and generosity towards other believers. The Rock can definitely relate to that – I know what it’s like to give back to the people who have supported you.
But then John starts talking about this other guy named Diotrephes, who was causing some trouble. He was basically a power-hungry dude who didn’t want to listen to anyone else, and he was even kicking people out of the church just because they didn’t agree with him. That’s not the kind of guy The Rock would want to mess with, that’s for sure.
But the thing that really stands out to me in this book is how much emphasis John puts on hospitality. He tells Gaius to welcome and support traveling preachers and missionaries who come to his town, because they are doing important work for the kingdom of God. The Rock knows a thing or two about hospitality – I always make sure my guests feel welcome and well-fed. In fact, I’ve got a recipe for my famous Rock-approved pancakes that I think John and Gaius would have appreciated.
But all in all, the main message of 3 John is to love and support our fellow believers, even if we don’t always agree with them. As The Rock always says, we’re all in this together. And that’s a lesson that’s just as important now as it was back then.
So let me end with a classic Rock quote: “If you’re going to do something, do it big or don’t do it at all.” And that’s exactly what John is calling us to do – to love and serve with everything we’ve got.
