Respect is Earned

(2Jn 1:1)

PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH & NATION:  

May we show respect for those who make sacrifices to lead (2Jn 1:1). #ShowRespect #EarnRespect

MORNING WATCH NOTES:

This brief letter (more like a note card) is written to “the chosen lady“ (NLT). The Greek here is “eklekte kyria.“ Most translators call her “elect“ or “chosen lady.“ But “kyria“ (transliteration) may also have been a common name. Either way John highly respects this woman (that we shall soon see).

This distinguished woman “Kyria” was certainly a well known figure in the local church. Perhaps even hosting the church in her home (v10). One feels like they know her at the outset. I have known many such women in the churches I’ve attended or served. Lord, may I always show respect to whom and where it is due.
