The Reading of Jude
Manage episode 454615147 series 3437881
Jude is believed to be the 1/2 brother of Jesus and brother of James. His name can also be Judas, and they are mentioned in Mt. 13:55 and Mark 6:3 as Jesus' brothers. He seemed to write this letter to Jewish Christians because he used many OT references and used books that are not found in the Bible such as "Enoch," and "The Assumption of Moses." It is believed to have been written between AD 64-68. Some of the key themes are beware of false teachers who can be detected by their actions, stand firm in the doctrines of faith, persevere in the faith, be merciful to others as God has been merciful to us, God is able to judge the wicked, and save the righteous. The letter ends with a wonderful Doxology about how God is able and worthy of praise.
