LETTER OF JUDE (Part 2)
And three things ought to go after Jesus’ followers, always increasing:
• Jud 1:2 -> “Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.”.
Mercy -> Seeking a way so that the people can be redeemed of their sins without looking over Jesus’ justice and aiming the purification of their conscience.
Peace -> Jesus’ peace:
• Joh 14:27 -> “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”.
It isn’t afraid of people (Heb 13:5,6) or circumstances (Isa 8:12-14; 51:11,12; Jer 10:2). Our concerning should be to please Him and to be right before His eyes (Prov 16:7), always aiming to stay in peace with Him (2Cor 5:18-20).
Love -> Jesus is love (1John 4:8,16). We need to give room to Jesus so that He can manifest His love in us and for us (1John 4:19) and, thus, we can be able to manifest His love for those who He put around us regardless the circumstances.
• Jud 1:3 -> “Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.”
And, for this, we can learn that, in the life of the false teachers:
1 – There is no beneficial mercy:
• Pro 12:10 -> “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.”.
2 – There is no peace:
• Isa 57:20,21 -> “But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.””.
3 – There isn’t love. On the contrary: they isolate themselves and:
• Pro 18:1 -> “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.”.
Have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on.
