Jude
Overview
Based on the NKJV, David Guzik’s commentary on 3 John assumes the full trustworthiness and authority of Scripture, combining insights from scholars throughout the ages. Guzik provides clear exposition, designed to help Bible readers understand what the text says, and what it means. Calvary Chapel pastor Guzik forgoes formality and dives straight into the text—no lengthy introductions or extensive footnotes. Packed with helpful insights and context, the commentary examines the English text of the biblical book with limited reference to original languages, making it an ideal tool for lay people or anyone without language training.
Top Highlights
“In contrast to Michael, who would not even speak evil of the devil, these certain men spoke evil, especially when they rejected authority and spoke against dignitaries.” (Jude 10)
“The fact that he wanted himself to be known this way instead of introducing himself as ‘Jude, the half-brother of Jesus’ tells us something of the humility of Jude and the relative unimportance of being connected to Jesus by human relationships.” (Jude 1)
“the blood of the cross that saved him was more important than the family blood in his veins that related him to Jesus” (Jude 1)
“If it isn’t a common salvation, it isn’t God’s salvation—and it isn’t salvation at all” (Jude 3)
“Instead, he tells us to focus on our walk with the Lord, help others affected by the certain men, and to focus on God. We simply are to pay the certain men no attention, except for what is necessary for our warning. God will take care of them.” (Jude 20–25)
