About Jude

Jude (Judas) was a brother of Jesus and James, and the author of the Epistle of Jude. Like his brothers, he did not believe in Jesus during His earthly ministry but became a believer after the resurrection. His short but powerful letter warns against false teachers who had infiltrated the church, urging believers to contend earnestly for the faith. Jude humbly identifies himself not as Jesus' brother but as "a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James."
