Jude 1:1-2, Sibling Rivalry
Anyone who has a sibling knows that there is always a little bit of a sibling rivalry in the relationship. Not that you are competing against each other all the time but the same people your share your DNA with are the ones who know how to push your buttons and set you off. They know exactly what to say to push you over the edge and get your blood boiling, but they are also the ones who have your back if anyone else would try to do the same. As we begin to study the letter of Jude it is important to note that Jude was the half-brother of Jesus Christ, having the same mother. He was the raised in the same home as Jesus, by the same earthly parents, and shared his entire life with Him. If anyone would know that Jesus wasn’t who He said He was it would be His little brother, it is a great testimony in favor of Jesus’s Lordship for Jude to refer to Jesus as the Christ (Messiah) and to himself as a servant (slave) to his older brother.
Most scholars believe that the four brothers of Jesus mentioned in scripture (Mark 6:3) didn’t always have this view of their older brother but only came to this revelation knowledge after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. To watch your brother, die a horrific death, be placed in the ground, and then come out of that grave and ascend to heaven would leave a mark on one’s life that your brother wasn’t an ordinary man. These went from realizing that Jesus was special to knowing that Jesus was the Son of God who came to take away the sins of the world. James and Jude have letters in our current Bible that prove that not only believed He was the Messiah that they became ministers of His gospel message leading others to the truth of Salvation by no other name. Acknowledging Jesus as Lord didn’t give them fame or make them popular it did exactly the opposite, it made them an enemy to their Jewish religion and of the world. They were hated, persecuted, and despised for their proclamation and this should tell us that they discovered something very valuable that they were willing to lay their life down for it.
