3 John 4 (ESV I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. No greater joy! This statement is concerning a Pastor and his congregation. To get the full impact let us put this in a family sense. We might think parents have “no greater joy” than their son made the football team, their girl made the soccer team, and they both made straight A’s on their report card, etc., etc., but No! The parents greatest joy should be that their children are walking in the truth.
