To The Chosen Lady

The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth.”

2 John 1

Do you realize that the book of 2 John is addressed to a lady? I didn’t realize this until just recently. I want you to read through the whole book (don’t worry it is only 12 verses) imagining that it is addressed personally to you. John obviously knew the recipients of this letter very well and wanted to encourage them. How does reading this book in this way encourage you?

Some scholars think that the “lady” might be a reference to a church and the “children” a reference to the members of that congregation. Read through the book again. How does this change your perspective?

On the following page is a short 3 day study of 2 John, I hope you are edified and encouraged by this study.

May you have a blessed day!
