Jason Helopoulos

Probably the first that ever warmed my heart.

Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden.

I will give you rest.

And we often stop there, but he doesn't stop there when he says that.

He continues on.

And he says, take my yoke upon you and learn from me.

For I am gentle and lowly in heart.

You come to him and you receive rest.

But now that you've received that rest, you've taken his yoke upon you and you're following after him.

You're walking after him.

You're seeking to become more like the one you love by his grace, by his strength.

But this is what it looks like to be a Christian.

And so he is correcting this error that he speaks of them teaching in these churches.

We come to Christ as Savior and we yield to him as our Master and Lord.

This was the cause for the letter, Ungodly Teachers, Teaching Error, Antinomianism, and Independency.

Now second, what I want to look at is the purpose of this letter.

Look back to verse 3.

Jude charges us, he says, contend for the faith.

In Jude's mind, it's not simply enough just to have the faith.

He says you must also contend for the faith.
