What do we learn about Gaius in 3 John 1-4?
  
   This passage talks about how John loves Gaius in the truth. This
   suggests that they had a good relationship. Also people have
   recognized Gaius as a person who teaches and practices the truth.
   The fact that he teaches truth brings joy to John.
  
How do we understand what it means, as Christians, to love each other? How do we show
that love?
  
   For the Christian love is the greatest quality that they can
   attain to. We understand love as it is manifested in Jesus Christ.
   We also understand love as we read about it and put it into practice
  
   Love is an action word, and to show love we must do love. Love is
   seen in the way we treat one another and the care and compassion
   that we show for each other. We must love the way that
   Jesus loved.
  
Go over 1 Corinthians 13. How well do you manifest the principles that Paul talks about there? In what areas do you do fairly well; in what areas could and should you improve?
  
   This passage talks about the greatest human virtue that we can
   attain to. Really to try to say we do well in this area or that
   area is to miss the point. The goal is Jesus , no matter how
   well we do we must continue to press toward the mark of the
   high calling in Jesus Christ!
  
   We must press ! We must love the way he loved! By the grace
   of God amen!

Prayer: Oh Father, thank your for the beautiful example you have allowed us
to see in Gaius. Thank you for the exposition of love in 1 cor 13. Father
help us to put this love in action. Father please help us to love like
you loved. We pray these blessings for your glory. In Jesus name I pray
amen.
