Jude may be Scripture’s most neglected one-chapter book, yet it ends with its most beloved doxology. In it, Jude pivots from celebrating shared salvation to urging believers to “contend for the faith,” resisting the world’s values and the presumption that grace cancels holiness. His pastoral strategy is mercy on the move: draw near to doubters, rescue those near the flames, and practice compassion without compromise. The gospel both protects and propels us—Christ keeps us, and Christ sends us.

3 John may be brief, but it packs a lasting charge: be faithful like Gaius, discerning like John, and exemplary like Demetrius.
