<p>1:4 <em>I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth</em>- John&rsquo;s greatest joy was that his converts, and his convert's converts, &lsquo;walked in truth&rsquo;, they &lsquo;walked after the Father&rsquo;s commandments&rsquo; (2 Jn. 4,6). Paul likewise speaks of how his converts are his &quot;joy and crown&quot;. Joy in the Kingdom will not be a selfish thing; our joy will be in seeing the results of our labours for others in this brief life. We therefore need to give our all to such labour, for it has eternal consequence like nothing else we may put our hands to.</p>
