3 John. The apostle John wrote his third letter to a close friend and one of the main points, the main point we want to make this morning, is to “Imitate Good”. Verse 11 of 3 John simply says, “do not imitate evil but imitate good”. John makes it very clear: followers of Jesus are to imitate is that which is good, not evil. There are a lot of things to imitate in our culture, but the Bible says we’re to make sure the things we imitate are good. “Good” here means what is upright and acceptable to God. It’s not just whatever you say is “good”.
