Jude
Jude 24-25
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, or savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen
What would it be like to worship your brother?
Are you kidding me? What would possess you to ask such a question? You know all his flaws. You see what others don’t. You’re not gonna praise the guy too much, let alone compliment him. And, yet this letter might be one of the strongest encouragements of faith in Jesus. Jude happened to be Jesus’ brother (see Mark 6:3). And he knew something was different about Jesus. Real different. So different that he penned these words. And you don’t say things like this about anyone unless you are convinced, they are true. And if Jude, knowing him better than most, should go this far, who are we not to follow his lead?
