Introduction 12 Peter and Jude are letters written to churches experiencing various kinds of trialsfalse teachers, distorted views of the gospel, and harsh persecution. If 1 Peter exults, Jesus will return! and 2 Peter rebuffs the claim, Jesus wont return, then Jude exhorts, Jesus is just about here! Together, these letters form a kind of manifesto of hope for living faithfully no matter how dark the times. This study highlights the importance of holding fast to the true gospel, living distinct, holy lives, and looking ahead to the return of Christ.
