Apostle Jude
Within the story of St Jude, who was one of the Twelve Apostles and the younger brother of James the Less, we find he is a mystery of numerous kinds of discernment. He enters and exits the gospel tale in a calm historical past way, almost as if he’s actively attempting to drown his character in that of Christ rather than bringing attention to himself. This obscurity is one of the reasons he has remained unknown and forgotten for centuries.
This story of St Jude (1st century C.E.), also known as St. Judas or Jude Thaddeus, is regarded as one of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles. He is Jesus’ “brother” and the most likely author of the Epistle of Jude.
Various Christian churches consider Jude the Apostle to be a saint. For example, the Armenian Apostolic Church honours him alongside Saint Bartholomew. Roman Catholics revere him as the patron saint of dismal situations and misdirected causes. He can no longer be concerned about Judas Iscariot or any other Apostle who eventually betrayed Jesus. Their name is a Greek form of Judah, becoming well-known.
(Mark 3:14) And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
(Mark 6:3); Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Closing prayer; Give us wisdom and understanding to know how to address issues that are causing conflict between our brothers and sisters in Christ. Help us to contend earnestly the faith that was once delivered to the saints and which is recorded in the Word of God – but we pray that we may do it with wisdom and love – in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
For those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
