The Simple Jesus in Jude 5
The final name to explore is the shortest name that Jude uses, the simple uncompounded, unmodified Jesus. This name is found in verse 5 but not in every manuscript. Therefore, it is wise to review the variants before moving on in this study. Philipp Bartholomä has cataloged the three main variants and 2 lesser attested variants.[1] The possible subjects for Jude 5 are “(reading 1) “Lord” [κύριος]; (reading 2) “Jesus” [Ἰησοῦς] and (reading 3) “God” [θεός]”. After a worthy study of…

Oswald Chambers on Total Surrender
This post originally published at https://utmost.org/total-surrender/ March 12 Total Surrender By Oswald Chambers Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” —Mark 10:28 Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is “for My sake and the gospel’s” (Mark 10:29).

The second Triad of names for Jesus in Jude
In the final triad of names, Jude uses the more explicit our Lord Jesus Christ(17, 21) and a variation that carries the same meaning Jesus Christ our Lord (24). These three usages build upon the first triad but make it more explicit that Jesus Christ is always the Lord of believers and it is He who brings mercy and eternal life (21) as well as being the one through whom blamelessness is received (24). Furthermore, all those apart from the Lord…
