LOVE & MERCY – Jude 16-23

Jude's admonitions to the church continue toward his goal of equipping true believers to identify and oppose any who would seek to diminish or deny the glory, majesty, dominion, and authority of Jesus Christ our Lord. This equipping involves discernment sharpening, and faith building. Jude supplements his brief letter with references and allusions to greater scripture – both Old and New Testaments. In this context, the depth of his writing is better appreciated, thus we will seek to enhance our understanding of his words with several cross references. For the last couple sermons, our series in Jude has been organized according to 2 columns recording his descriptions of the ungodly and his admonitions to the holy in verses 16-23. Placing these references side by side, we find the contrasts are helpful in understanding our calling to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Whereas the ungodly are scoffers – the holy keep themselves in the love of God and whereas the ungodly follow their passions – the holy wait for the mercy of Jesus. In verse 18, Jude uses the phrase: “in the last time” as a reference to the societal context of a world in the post-incarnation side of history. This reference echoes Peter's use of “the last days” in II Pet 3:3. Given this understanding and corrective against an exclusively 'yet future' application of these texts, it nevertheless stands to reason that their relevance for the church has only increased since the time of their writing therefore let us listen with all the more rapt attention.

The Wisemen understood the times more than the chief priests and the scribes. Being religious and even being in the church doesn't mean you will understand what God is doing in the earth today. We are missing what is happening in our day. We are missing the signs of the times. Because we are missing it, we are being shaken. I want to be more like the Wisemen and less like the chief priests and scribes. The scripture says, “Those who sit in darkness…Have seen a great light" (Matt. 4:16). I want to be watching and waiting, being able to be led by the signs of the times. The prophetic word shined for them when the star didn't. When what was leading them in the natural went dark, that which was supernatural didn't. When things get dark and our star disappears for a minute, what do we lean on? We lean on the spoken and written word of God.

The title for today's message is borrowed from a line in the Robert Frost poem: “The Road Not Taken”. Frost muses in retrospect how the course of one's life can often present tow options and the eventual consequences are realized along the way which may have been obscured at the time of choosing. Such is the situation in the diverging paths of Abram and his nephew Lot in Genesis 13. This seemingly insignificant negotiation of where to graze one's numerous flocks has ripple effects for generations as the biography of the patriarch's history in the land unfolds. For Abram, the incident serves to illustrate Godly character and faithfulness based on his confidence in the promises of God having returned to calling on His name. For Lot, however, this moment marks a parting of ways which will probe to be a path of severe discipline. The parenthetical narrator's note in verse 10 foreshadows judgement on the horizon for the inhabitants of Lot's new home town, as Moses reminds the reader “This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.” The scenario provides a telling contrast documenting the fruit of these decisions through the next few chapters o0f Genesis. Calvin writes of Lot's decision in particular: “...even as he thought he was living in heaven, he had already sunk almost into hell.” Yet despite Lot's misplaced affections which take their eventual tole on his livelihood, his homeland, his lineage, his dignity, and his relationship to Abram, he is mercifully spared ultimate judgement as Peter declare of him that he was eventually rescued as a righteous man greatly distressed by the conduct of the wicked around him (II Pet 2:7). Themes featured in our text today will be expounded further as the record continues...

Verse one of Peter's first epistle to converts across the Roman empire identifies his credentials, the nature of his audience, and the area in which they lived. As to his qualifications and office, he simply introduces himself as “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ”. He does not go to great lengths asserting his leadership position in the church, rather he emphasizes the shared experience of all true believers from eye witnesses of Jesus' glory to new converts in distant gentile lands as (II Pet 1:1) “to those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Peter identifies his readers as 'elect exiles' – a weighty term strong enough to bear the sovereign grace of salvation and the unique calling of the Christian requiring resolve and endurance. We are elect as we are chosen by a personal and mighty God who has ordained for Himself a people who would be ransomed unto the praise of His glory, chosen in the mystery of His merciful counsel from eternity past. We are exiles in that our new identity in Christ has so radically set us apart from the ordinary state of fallen man that we find our experience is one of a sojourner, a citizen of a holy and independent nation (I Peter 2:9a, 11). Finally verse one reveals what geographical and national regions these exiles are estranged in. History places these territories all to the north of Asia Minor (modern Turkey). The gospel was dispersing quickly through the Roman regions unto the known world and with it came apostolic letters of strengthening encouragement for the early church, these treasured letters were proclaimed and preserved through the ages even unto our hands today...
