Devotional: Jude 1-2

Today’s passage: Jude 1-2

Helpful thoughts:

  • Jude was the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus (Same mother, different Father!).
    • Though he is the half-brother of Jesus, he desires to make it clear in verse 1, Jesus is his Lord.  Jude is a servant of the Lord.
    • This letter was most likely written in the middles of the 60’s A.D.
  • The description of the recipients of this letter is much like the list of the promises we claim from Romans 8:28-30.
  • Mercy is not getting what we deserve.
    • Peace is a state of harmony in relationship.
      • Love is giving of yourself for the benefit of another.

Questions to consider:

  1. Using the passage referenced in Romans 8, what does it mean that Christians are “called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ?”
  2. In what ways do the acts of being “called,” “beloved,” and “kept” fit into the timelines of our lives?  In what ways are these actions past, present, and/or future?  Who is doing the actions?
  3. If you have put your faith in Christ, how have mercy, peace and love already been lavished upon you?  In what ways does God continue to grant us things things?
