SUNDAY MORNING (September 23rd) - "That You May Know"Abide in the Doctrine of Christ (2 John)what do you think John is implying with this introduction: "The elder to the elect lady and herchildren" (1:1)?In your own words, what role does "truth" play in 1:1-2?Practically speaking, what does it mean to "walk in the truth" (1:4)?Why does John repeatedly return to the "love one another" imperative in his writings (1:5)?In your own words, what does it mean to "walk according to his commandments" (1:6)?why is denying "the coming of]esus Christ in the flesh" such a serious offense (1:7)?How would you summarize the message of 1:8? What does it mean to "watch" ourselves, and howdo we go about doing it?"Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for ..." (1:8). What can we learnfrom that second phrase? What would it mean to "lose" in this context?What is the message of 1:9 and why is it important?Why would John warn and prescribe what he does in 1:10-11?
