The Great Contrast

John the beloved Apostle brings forth a great contrast between the tares and the wheat b y an examination of two men in this wonderful third epistle. The contrast is brought between Diotrephes (a professor) who speaks malicious words about John and forbids fellowship between certain brethren, with that of Demetrius (a possessor) who has a good report of all men and is a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
