2 John

About John's second letter

John who wrote this letter was the apostle John. He also wrote the letters 1 John and 3 John, as well as John's Gospel and the Book of Revelation.
John calls himself a leader of the church. He had authority over several churches. He was an old man and he called the Christians ‘my little children’. He wrote his letters for people to read aloud in church meetings. He called the churches that he was writing to, ‘a special lady and her children’. He is warning these churches that they should not accept false teachers. Teachers that are like this do not teach the true message of Jesus.
