Extended Family...

3 John 1:15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, each by name. 
As John concludes this lesson to his friend in the faith, Gaius, he steps back for both to get the big picture.  Both have friends at the church at each other's location.   They are to be greeted in love.  In the same way, as John has asked in this letter, believers and servants of God who come to another sister church should be able to find the same love and hospitality.  Just as John and Gaius send and receive greetings, so Gaius should continue to do for others.  It is the Peace of Christ we share - not only our individual salvation, but the fellowship of faith.  We have peace with God and one another.
