Out of this chapter I got a real revelation. I found that honour rewards don't come unless you have faith in God or in whatever you are doing. There are a few people in the bible that spoke to me in this chapter about having faith, like the woman who had a daughter with a demon inside her. When God said go away and called her a dog, she stood there and said that even the little dogs get the crumbs from under the table. Jesus was amazed with this so he rewarded her and healed her daughter, it was because of her faith that she recieved the full reward. Another one that spoke to me was a Roman officer, when his servent was paralyzed the Roman officer asked Jesus to heal his servant. Jesus answered yes I will come into your house and I will heal your servernt. The Roman officer said to Jesus I am not worthy enough for a person like you to come into my house. Jesus was astonished and at that second the Servent was healed. The man was amazed. It was because of this officer's faith that he recieved this reward.
What John is trying to say, is that no matter what we do to honour people we need to have faith in what we do to honour them. Otherwise we will not recieve a full reward.
