Call to Prayer “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” By Charles Crozat Converse | Joseph Medlicott Scriven

Verse 1: What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry, Everything to God in prayer

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry, Everything to God in prayer

Verse 2: Have we trials and temptations, Is there trouble anywhere

We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share

Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer Public Domain

Bible Overview: Second John Who wrote the book? John did not identify himself by name in this letter, but he did

adopt the term “elder” for himself (2 John 1:1). There has been some debate about

whether an author named John the Elder wrote this letter (as well as 3 John, which is

addressed the same way) or if John the apostle was using a different title for himself.

However, the earliest church tradition from the second century on testified in unison

that this letter and its companion, 3 John, were written by the apostle.

Where are we? John offers few details in the short letter we call 2 John. Nothing in

the circumstances John discussed in the letter would lead a reader of the time to think

that it did not go to the same churches that received 1 John. With this letter’s similarity

to 1 John, it’s likely that John wrote from Patmos around AD 90.

Why is Second John so important? Second John makes clear what our position

should be regarding the enemies of the truth. Whereas 1 John focuses on our fellowship

with God, 2 John focuses on protecting our fellowship from false teachers.

What's the big idea? John began his second epistle proclaiming his love for “the

chosen lady and her children,” a love he shared with those who know the truth (2 John

1:1). From the reports he had received, he understood that these believers were

following the teachings of Christ. He summed up this kind of lifestyle in the exhortation

to “love one another” (1:5), a clear reference to the great commandments of Jesus—to

love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36–40; John 13:34). In other words,

those who walk in the truth should be people who love others. But they should be

cautious whom they love. Deceivers and false teachers had infiltrated the church—

people who taught falsehoods about the person of Jesus, teaching that He was not truly

a man but only appeared to be one. This early heresy, called Docetism, required the

strongest possible response from John. So the apostle warned the true believers away

from these false teachers.

How do I apply this? John’s strong encouragement to the believers in 2 John involved

loving one another. However, John did not leave love undefined but described it as

walking “according to His commandments” (2 John 1:6). This echoes the teaching of

Jesus in John’s gospel, where the Lord told His followers, “If you love Me, you will

keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Our love is dependent on our obedience.

When we don’t obey, we don’t love. Often we get in the mind-set that our obedience to

God affects only ourselves. But that simply is not true. Our actions, whether obedient or

disobedient, have ripple effects far beyond our own limited vision of a circumstance.

Consider your own life. In what ways might your obedience or disobedience impact

those in your immediate circle of relationships? Second John reminds us not only of the

dangers of falling away from the truth but also of the importance of making obedience a

priority in our lives—for ourselves and for those most important to us.

Visual Overview … Now we’re looking at the

book of 2 John (2 Yawn, as they would say).

And though these two are yawning, they’re still

alert enough to Bolt the Door, the Keyword of

2 John. It’s unwise to grow weary and not stay

spiritually alert to danger, as 2 John points out.

First-century evangelists and teachers, traveling

by foot to spread the gospel, would usually find

hospitality in the homes of Christian families.

But just as wheat and tares appear similar until

fruit is borne, heretical teachers could be hosted

by unaware believers who were not wise enough to know the difference. Therefore,

John writes to remind Christians that deceivers are traveling about and that Christians

should not welcome them or take them into their house lest they share in the wicked

work of the false teacher (vv. 10-11). In our day, when false religious teachers have

multiplied dramatically – and often come in the name of Christ – “bolt the door”

remains wise counsel for the church.
